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 and wanted to see if anyone on the inside had real info. Thanks #netflix #culture
Is every top tech toxic or are you people just so soft? Come to Amazon to experience the real cut throat culture
The culture isn't cut throat or toxic in my experience. Yes, there is some potential jockeying for political power, but that's anywhere. If you do solid work, you can mostly avoid that stuff.
Having worked in industry for 10+ years and hearing experiences of other folks, I think nothing compares to Netflix culture. There was zero toxicity in any of my interactions (and I have had very toxic managers and peers in other places). Nor did anyone display cutthroat behavior since the system didn’t incentivize it. It is a high performance culture though, so people were let go for not meeting performance standards (which is something Netflix is very upfront about) but other than that, it’s a very empathetic place to work.
How often do people get let go for not meeting standards? Do they get severance?
How many YOE you have?
8 YOE
TC or you know what
OP - please share offer and role.
Apologies, finance role and TC is 175 currently!
It's the best culture in the industry but it's not for everyone. People who know their shit thrive, imposters get exposed quickly
I had the same doubt before joining 4 years ago. By far, it’s the best decision I’ve made in my career.
thats excellent to hear! do you mind if I PM you about which org etc? Also hows your group treat in office / remote?
Of course PM me for more detail.
I joined a year ago or so. Fantastic culture, absolutely love it.
Ty this is excellent to hear! Glad you enjoy it hope I do also
in talks with Netflix now, thanks for the help

Crossed a line with my boss
Netflix is hybrid? How many days a week?
is your expectation that its 100% in office or do you mean 100% remote? I was told 3 days a week is mandatory
It depends on role, engineering is remote inclusive
