Pros
• Morale around product and company trajectory is insanely high. • Compensation is great + real moon-shot chance with stock options. • Can feel the value in everything new that's built - customers love it! • Not just a ticket monkey; everyone has a high degree of ownership. • Tons of opportunity for growth; efforts are recognised and rewarded. • Insanely high bar for talent (not only on a technical level, but also agency/taste/friendliness/etc).
Cons
• It is stressful; the stakes are high and there is lots to build. • Sometimes feels like pressure is used as a tool from the top down to achieve results, though it's always fair and never petty. • Fits the Netflix "sports team" company archetype; it's engaging and clearly works, but isn't for everyone. • Not much opportunity for newer ICs to innovate outside of typical product work. • As we've grown it feels a bit like the culture has become a bit monotone and somewhat cliquey.
