Pros

I am treated like an adult. The work is exciting. The management is top-notch. The pay is great. It is a "getting things done" type of company. Work-life balance is excellent. We keep process to a minimum and encourage innovation. Best company I have worked for (25-year career). Loved by customers with a highly rated user experience that is tested by rigorous quantitative and qualitative analysis.

Cons

If you want a greenfield experience or the open-endedness of a startup, then Netflix is not for you. Netflix is relentless on culling stuff that does not fit in the major focus. Some people might find that constraining; the rationale is focused on what works best for users. It is a high-performance culture, so if you aren't a high performer, you won't like it.

Advice to Management

Thank you for modeling the way to run a company.
