Netflix folks, were you ever 'sunshined'?

...if yes, how did it go? Did you see anyone leave after the 'sunshining' incident? For those wondering what I am taking about: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/stephaniedenning/2018/10/26/the-netflix-pressure-cooker-a-culture-that-drives-performance/amp/

Sounds like an awful stressful environment to work in

Sounds kinda like Bridgewater. That wasn't my impression with I interviewed with them, but that was a few years ago.

Definitely sounds very Dalio-ish.

After reading the article, I'd love to work there! Not for the high TC but for being surrounded by motivated people who keep moving and making decisions because they know their role is in the line if they choose complacency...I can't find the path to interview...

Sounds good until you get screwed up by mangers playing their game of thrones. High performers are easily let go if they don’t play this political game ...

Same everywhere...here politics is officially admitted. They call that "sponsor", if you dont have one you can't get promoted

Thanks for the replies so far...I wonder actual stories havent been posted yet coz that will lead to getting IDd easily? If yes, how do we provide enough obfuscation?

I have been in Netflix for a long time and I have never heard of sunshining. Not in eng at least. The main theme is always freedom and responsibility. You make decisions and you are responsible for your decisions.
