"Sweat shop on crack"

Netflix Review by IT Infrastructure Operations Support Manager in Los Gatos, CA on

1.50

What do you like about working at Netflix?

location was convenient

What don't you like about working at Netflix?

The culture is broken there is a complete and total disconect between operations and engineering. This is by choice and will remain in place.

What suggestions do you have for management?

Accept that this is not the DOTCOM era. Great product ideas but they need to get handle on follow through. Performance contracts with Fortune partners matter. Chaos can incentivize the creation of order but the ETeam at Netflix actively creates chaos to foster constant change to the extent that they are hurting themselves in ways that perhaps once but that no longer foster positive change.

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

Don't go in blind seeing this for anything other than what it is: only do this if you have no other options. The benefits are slim and will cost you a lot of your salary, you need to factor in an $18,000 hit against whatever salary you are offered o get dcent insurance there. This realy slims down their overall package. Also expct to work 24/7/365 with no time off at all. Rrely will you even sleep through the night.

"Highly political environment that doesn't practice the values they profess"

Netflix Review by Vice President in Los Gatos, CA on

1.90

What do you like about working at Netflix?

Startup feel, exciting industry, good product, and customer focused

What don't you like about working at Netflix?

The HR organization is evil and incompetent. They have far too much power and influence over decisions they know nothing about. In the end, their own organization is held to a different standard than they hold the rest of the organization.

What suggestions do you have for management?

Remove the head of HR and hire some senior talent that knows how to run a company of this size and complexity.

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

Just walk away

No loyalty for hard workers 06.25.10
I think it is right on the money. As a former employee I know this to be a true statement. with 34 to 38% employee turn over a year ...not a stable place to work...if your looking for a future. 06.25.10

What do you like about working at Netflix?

They post every mistake that you made. I take it as something positive for you to show people that you value work and you put time for the quality of the work that you render. Not seeing your name on the wall gives me pride for what I do no matter how little it is.

What don't you like about working at Netflix?

You can only get few hours.
