Pros

The company culture was extremely empowering. As an employee, I really felt like I was listened to and had the freedom to do what I felt was best for the business.

Knowing that management wanted employees at every level to understand the long- and short-term business strategies so that they could themselves make the best decisions for the business was extremely empowering. This kind of transparency is rare in companies.

Coworkers were really smart and passionate about what they did. Management was self-reflective and introspective. The company was constantly innovating and looking for ways to improve, so you never felt like you were sitting still.

Perks and compensation were also the best I've experienced in my career.

Cons

Due to rapid growth over the four years I was there, perhaps a little bit of the culture was lost or watered down, mostly in terms of feeling like you knew fewer people as the company grew.

No opportunities to work remote. When I moved out of state, I would have loved to have continued to work for Netflix. At the same time, I understand why they don't want remote employees.

Advice to Management

Keep leading the way and revolutionizing both the entertainment industry as well as corporate culture!
