Pros

Good location, free lunch, ability to choose a laptop, and the corporate culture looks good on paper.

Cons

Middle management is unable to effectively plan. They do not understand the strengths and weaknesses of their teams and seem to be mostly interested in protecting their bloated salaries.

20% of the workforce should be terminated. The other 80% is so segmented that they are unable to accomplish anything of any real value.

Netflix was probably a great company to work for a few years ago, but is dangerously mismanaged now.

Advice to Management

Start over. The company has great core beliefs but fails to efficiently execute.
