I'm an ex-Netflix engineer (voluntarily left in March to work on my own company, worked there just under 3 years).
I don't know what it's like from the executive or middle management side of things, but from the engineering side of things, I liked the fact that people were transparent about their mistakes and there were always detailed write-ups about any technical incidents.
Incident post-mortems were always incredibly good for that reason, and I never felt like my job was on the line if I admitted to messing up somewhere.
I liked it a lot there, good work/life balance and never really felt stressed. If anything, I didn't think there was enough interesting work to go around as the company was growing a lot bigger.
But as an engineer, I wouldn't mind going back.
