A perfectly fine place to work as an engineer
Software Engineering Manager • Current Employee
Los Angeles, California, United States

Pros: I've been at Netflix for years. When I started, it had a pretty unique culture that truly encouraged both excellence and open debate. Now it's just a "fine" place to work. Most of the people are fine, most of the work is fine. The work-life balance is fine, the remote-friendliness is fine.
Cons: Open debate is no longer welcome, and many great people who took too long to figure that out were exited. Most of the "unique Netflix culture" is now purely performative. It's just a job. Career growth basically dies while you're here - there are way too many under-leveled people for any fast pace of promos.
