Lots of competent colleagues; you will work with good engineers who can get things done. The infra is pretty good which enables you to be productive. Perks are great and all-cash compensation is pretty nice too.
Management in engineering is so-so from my experience, really good explicit communication but also not willing to put the right process in place to make planning and execution as efficient as it could be. The company is changing a lot right now as it transitions from the old no-level world to a more typical organization with lots of juniors, fair number of seniors, and a few staff+. I think the change will be for the best in the long run but the culture hasn't quite adapted yet.
How is the culture at Netflix? The culture doc makes it sound cutthroat, but is that really the case? TC: 220k
How’s Netflix as a work place? Is it true that it is a very cut throat culture and they let go people very easily without any warning?
My understanding is that all engineers in Netflix has the same level. How do people feel on career development in such an environment?
Can anyone who has experienced Netflix' "adequate performance is met with generous severance" share your story? 1. Is there stack ranking? 2. How is the PIP and severance? 3. Culture change post Reed's departure #netflix #pip TC: 0, currently interviewing with them
Can someone who has worked at both companies talk about this Netflix is similar to and different from Meta? Mostly wondering about culture. TC at current stock price: 434k (not including bonuses)
Interviewing with Netflix for L4. I am curious about the available engineering problems and the culture. Given that levels have been newly introduced, what growth and performance expectations exist for <L5 engineers, if any? Will I be disappointed if I am expecting the culture to be like the cult
Any insights into how Netflix pm culture is? Coming from Uber and G so comparisons to other FAANGs would be useful
Ho ho ho! Santa is here, albeit a little late. Someone on our internal forms claimed Patty as a legend for creating the culture. I guess it really needs a critical analysis.

“4. Keep only our highly effective people” Does this mean a dip in performance would lead to severance package? How often this happens?
I had two phone screenings at different times with different HMs and then I got ghosted. I wasn't asked anything technical or challenging. It was a casual talk. What are the expectations? @netflix #netflix
Evaluating an offer at Netflix and many people have brought up the fact that the culture there can be very cutthroat or toxic, is that true? I figured in a hybrid manner it'd be a decent culture and you could build relationships being in office etc. Just had me second guessing the excitement I had ...Read more
I decided to write this post because of the recent firings based on slack conversations. I see the usual (HR) accounts from Netflix defending the story highlighting the BS culture values. I got fired because I openly gave feedback about my manager. My manager and their manager had dealings outside ...Read more
💪The culture memo: “positive and constructive feedback is part of everyday life—not only an annual event. Meaningful feedback can be hard to give or accept. But like any new habit, it gets easier with practice. So we help people learn to give and receive feedback through coaching and modeling the ...Read more
Is it just me or their culture memo has so many red flags. A few examples: 1) Keep only our highly effective people 2) There’s lots of love and there are demanding peers. 3) This is a good-faith estimate of the highest compensation … combined with what we would pay to *replace them if needed*. 4) W...Read more
The Netflix culture memo is famed. I simply want to know, from folks working at Netflix, what the culture really is like. Does it really adhere to the culture memo, more or less? Specifically the part about high performance culture and absence of red-tapism and politics. Added a poll for easy answe...Read more
