I was laid off a couple of months back, started interviewing aggressively and got the VISA transfer done just on the last week of 2 month grace period. This has been traumatizing both for me and my family who depend on my VISA.
Due to this short notice, I missed Google as the hiring process couldn't be completed on time. I got Amazon offer which went into RFE during VISA transfer and ended up taking a huge pay cut from a Tier3 public company, so that I can at least maintain my VISA status.
I can't get into the firing details to not get identified, all I can say is that it was political and happened suddenly.
This is my attempt to save some pain to folks considering Netflix and are on VISA. I know the money is very attractive but considering my own experience and others I know, it is totally not worth it.

sorry that happened to you. i would never work at netflix. yes they weed out low performers, but they are incentivised to fire aggressively, which means they err on firing too many wrong people. no thanks.
From architecture perspectives, Netflix demonstrates how you can scale from 1 user to 150M+ users with thousands of microservices using AWS and OSS. Every startup can just follow the same footsteps. It's an invaluable contribution to the industry. Much more than the value of a single framework.
