Not to rationalize the environment there but I feel like Netflix is pretty transparent about being a difficult place to work and compensates for the potential stress with above average pay. I feel like most people who can get hired there are well aware of the work environment they will be entering.
- fossuser 8y agoThe pay is extreme - top of market, but I think more than people realize (even people in silicon valley). I've heard 400k cash is not that uncommon.
- strangerlands 8y agoIt is very common. Senior Software Engineers are commonly at 400+ up to 7-800. Director level for Software, Data Eng, Data Science are very rarely under 600+. VP in the same areas rarely (never?) under 800+.
- lz400 8y agoThat looks very high for senior devs and very low for directors/VPs.
- ahmedalsudani 8y agoLow for directors, yes. But the senior engineer figures are in line with what I have heard. The initial offer is never that high though.
- strangerlands 8y agoThe initial offers are often higher than 400 for Senior Software Eng, Senior Data Scientists, Senior Machine Learning Research Scientists and Engineers. 600 is actually pretty common for experienced people. On paper, there are no Juniors (there are associates in Marketing and Business and I think other teams). They pay top of the market according to their Excel sheets. Netflix does not have "tech lead" or "Principal" roles for the Software or Science teams. It is Senior, then you have Managers (who can be paid less than Seniors), Directors (no senior Directors), VP (no Senior VPs), and C-suite (with comp that is publicly available).
- jhall1468 8y agoIt's not that high for Seniors. $400k is pretty standard for a Senior at most FANG companies. With Netflix you get it all in cash and that's the major selling point.
