Netflix is so popular that it uses over a third of internet bandwidth in the US. And keeping Netflix moving takes an army of designers, engineers, managers, and customer service reps.
Netflix is famous for its unique company culture, which doesn't tolerate either failing employees or brilliant jerks. But for those that fit in, the company is willing to pay well.
Using data from Glassdoor, we compiled a list of the highest salaries you can earn while working at Netflix, ranked from lowest to highest.
(Note: Some positions listed on Glassdoor were excluded because there weren't enough shared salaries. Each average salary included in this roundup has at least 5 reviews.)
15. Customer Service Supervisor III
Salary: $70,791
A customer service supervisor oversees the work of customer service representatives, who at Netflix surely deal with at least a few angry people who just want to watch a movie. Glassdoor reviewers describe the customer service department as flexible and not built on a script. But one reviewer says that sometimes customer service is also the last department to know about changes in the company.
14. Operations Manager
Salary: $76,388
Operations managers deal with the day-to-day operations of a company, monitoring and managing operational costs, according to Payscale. Netflix is a company where the operations of the company has shifted significantly with the move away from DVD and toward streaming. As one Glassdoor reviewer wrote in about the DVD side in 2009, “Relax. You will all be out of work in 5-7 years when everything goes online streaming.”
13. Software Engineer
Salary: $131,673
Software engineers design and build software. At Netflix, this can span all the various different departments needed for such a complex product. One Glassdoor reviewer says, “If you are a passionate engineer who likes to solve hard problems, you will love Netflix.”
