Happy Monday folks, I'm looking at roles at Anthropic, Netflix, Cardlytics, and Intuit and I'm wondering if I should apply directly or work within my network to get referred. Some places don't seem to care, and others do, what has your experience been?
Thought Netflix doesn’t weigh referrals?
Netflix does weigh referrals. They're just much harder to get at Netflix because there's no referral bonus so no incentive for employees to refer randoms and every incentive to make sure those they refer are actually good (for personal reputation reasons).
Why cardlytics?
Referral, even better from someone who can vouch for you based on past experience.
