Excellent place to work, amazing people. Do not trust HR.

Executive assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, flexible time off, and wonderful people.

Cons

HR is not there to help you if you run into any issues. Do not go to them with anything, they will find a way to turn it around and make you the problem. They are truly the cancer of the organization.

Love my job

Assistant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

+ Culture is extraordinary, no yelling allowed, respect for all demanded, smiles down the hallways, hard workers, creators of extraordinary things, all people want to do is bring our subscribers joy. + I feel like I can learn from each and every person, always + Sounds weird, but I feel like I deserve to be here after all of my hard work + Netflix makes me feel like I'm the best person for my job + Culture of feedback, you never need to wonder where you stand + Inclusion. Lower level people are in every meeting, are extremely included and encouraged to take on more responsibility. + Pay is more than I'd get anywhere else for my position + Benefits + Stock Options

Cons

Non really... I guess sometimes the free lunch has delicious ravioli that I'm not thrilled about letting myself eat.

Getting worse as Netflix grows

Senior software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

* Salary * Perks (transportation / lunch / swag / celebrations) * Business is great, customers are happy * Internal tools are generally quite good

Cons

* Too much coordination required to get anything accomplished / too much coupling between systems (in contrast to stated culture) * Poor engineering practices on most teams and very difficult to get teams to move to newer technology * As company has grown, managers have taken a more active role, to the detriment of the code and architecture * No leadership/seniority path for engineers - which also implies all engineers believe that they are special snowflakes. This makes it hard to push for big changes. * Engineering talent is decreasing over time.
