Pros: You're given independence and the ability to do your job how you see fit - some of the time. Most of the time, management runs around like a chicken with their collective head cut off, and priorities constantly change.

Cons: - The salaries are competitive, but not particularly high, despite what their so-called slide deck proclaims. Keep in mind that your stock purchase and "bonus" are included, so $160k at Google is the same as $210k at Netflix. - Constant threats of firing, a culture of fear, and employees throwing each other under the bus to save their own skin. The threats of firing lead to crunch and absurd stress levels. - Employees aren't as intelligent as those at other high-tech firms; they're hired more for their ability to play corporate politics than for technical skill. - To follow on the above, the average stay here seems to be about a year. Understand that Netflix isn't an engineering company, it's an entertainment company, and a fragile streaming infrastructure and clunky front end are built to consume that entertainment. But content is king, not the technology, and it never will be.

Pros: The leadership has vision and knows how to execute. The company stays focused, and it feels like we are all working together as a team toward the same goal. Even when things aren't working exactly right, people are eager to accept advice and make things better.

Cons: Some IT infrastructure that I'm used to is not completely in place, but I suppose that's something that I can help fix.

Pros: Great company to work at!

Cons: Pay isn’t that great unfortunately.
