Facebook l5 - 205/600/100 with 15% bonus Netflix - nothing final yet but can beat fb. I am looking for inputs on 1. Future prospects 2. Stress 3. Culture From what I hear, it's stressful at fb to make sure you create an impact Everytime and may be so is Netflix. Can someone compare the 2 ? In
Living in Los Gatos is way better than living anywhere near FB campus
Congrats. Join the team you enjoy more. Netflix is highest stress obviously (it's advertised in their deck) but keeps the low performers out which is nice.
What’s your age yoe and current TC
Netflix
And you know that about both when you yourself work at factset? Is this acquired knowledge is from gossiping?
Guaranteed both will have interesting things to work on so really it comes down to what will work best for you as others have mentioned. If reading the culture memo on Netflix doesn’t freak you out ( it’s fine if it does ) then maybe that’s a solid option from a culture perspective. It’s hard to say which is better as I have no idea what you value in work and a work environment, but maybe just ask yourself which one excites you more. Try this. Flip a coin. Assign one side FB and one side Netflix. When it’s in the air think about which side you want it to land on. When it lands, never look at the coin just go with the one you wanted it to be.
Can you describe the Netflix work culture more ? How competitive/cut throat it is?
It really isn’t that crazy. You are expected to do your job well and communicate early if you think there might be a problem and ask for help when needed. Essentially you are treated like an adult that’s all. It’s not some Wild West of hyper cut throat and backstabbing. Even though people are let go it’s never some surprise. Managers are required to be very candid with their team during 1:1 meetings so if something isn’t going well you know in advance and are given the opportunity to address the situation. Overall it’s a stable environment where you are simply expected to take responsibilities for the things you say you will do and nobody is going to follow you around to make sure you do them. You either get your agreed upon stuff done or you go elsewhere. It seems fair to me, but I’m clearly biased toward that system.
Who hurt you? Are you doing ok?
Congrats that's a fantastic offer for fb e5, higher than mine
What was your offer
How about comparing time in traffic? Or you can always move near.
Yeah if I consider commute, its way better for Netflix (15-30 mins versus 60-75 mins )but want to pick what's best for career growth. I may get used to the commute but I do realize I will have to move closer after some time to cut down the commute
