> Working at Netflix seems to be a very demanding experience. Will you say that Netflix balance this demand ? In which way ?

It is demanding, but management sets a good example of taking time off and allowing for a work/life balance. If you're there at 6pm on a weekday, the building is 1/2 empty and by 7pm almost no one is around. People do not work crazy hours.

Also, for the most part, no one is around for the next two weeks, other than being on call for critical issues.

As for the no bonuses and perks, that is deceiving. Yes it is true, but instead they pay us what they would spend on those perks. Then we can chose to spend it on that or anything else.

Also, there are no official perks, but management is really good about celebrating wins and making sure we feel appreciated.

Nowadays, building population at 6pm is meaningless. It just means people are smart enough to sandbag and work from home.

Thank you jedberg. You and elq give a much realistic view of what Netflix is.

And thank you mackwic. I appreciate seeing "thank you" comments, especially when they specify what they liked/disliked about the parent post. HN could use some more of the civility and appreciation that you exemplify. =)
