Although the company will talk endlessly about their work-ethics and talent (best-of-the-best, high-performance culture) this is also a mask for requiring an exceptionally high degree of work from all its employees. Learn all of your tasks and responsibilities ASAP -- for if not you will be let go immediately. After learning the tasks thats it.... don't look for a promotion or movement -- its just not there. This is also told to you when hired - so they can't say they didn't warn you. (To compensate for this are the perks - kitchen foods, vacation time, heath benefits. Its called lulling you into complacency)

The different departments FUNCTION well together but don't mis-interpret this as working well together. And YES there are favorites -- so be careful who you buddy up with. The clique system is in major effect with the acquisition and buying departments -- beware! Cross one and you cross them all.

Overall if you can get everything you need to done, and don't try to do more, then you will be fine here. But if you have an original thought -- keep it to yourself and save it for your 1year anniversary when you start looking for that new job elsewhere.

Use em then leave em -- everyone there wants to be at a studio anyway.

As someone who spent over 3 years in Netflix's Beverly Hills office, I would just like to thank the author of this review... It's SO true.
