Just read the book powerful by Paty. It’ll tell you all about Netflix culture ... she’s the one who wrote the culture deck. Also No rules, rules the book by reed hasting is coming out soon. Also it’s on their site ... https://jobs.netflix.com/culture
Nah check out Reed’s book No Rules Rules, that is literally a (new) book that’s 100% about culture at Netflix
The book is historical and not entirely representative of the current culture
It’s true to the culture deck. But overall it’s even kinder in my experience.
I think parts of the culture deck are very true in LA, but LG has really shifted away from it. After all, you don’t build a diverse and tenured workforce if everyone feels like they’re on the chopping block.
What is LG?
The culture deck is outdated on the product side of things — and COVID has obliterated the hire-n-fire approach (which was already on the way out in LG), because no executive wants to rock morale. I’ve been here in product for 2 years, and it’s been great. Seen less turnover than I did at FB. Management is solid, executive leadership is outstanding. Insane transparency and lots of freedom. But it suits certain people well, and others not so well. We don’t have levels or performance reviews, so there’s no ladder to climb: it’s 100% about the work.
No performance reviews? Hell yes!!! Damn I need to go to Netflix. Not because I want to slack but I just having to justify my existence to a company.
how is your tc determined then? I could swear i heard netflix people talking about IC levels above senior btw.
It’s awesome. Tldr is - you get freedom of making decisions and driving initiatives. At the same time you assume responsibility for those decisions. You get to meet Reed in the kitchen and have a chat about random stuff.
This. Other tech companies have weekly CEO Q&As and claim they’re open and flat—at Netflix, C-level people (including Reed) will just be out there doing work like everyone else. Plus, the visibility into the business is extraordinary.
Exactly. Sometimes it’s incredible to me how much sensitive info is exposed internally to all employees.
Freedom and Responsibility. Context not Control. Respect everyone. Insane level of transparency and trust.
@Ulyz56, Sent you a DM. Will you be able to refer me to an analytics engineer role at LA? I have 20 years of rdbms and 3 years of spark/snowflake experience. Thank you!
Involuntary turnover rate 8% vs. 6% industry average. Voluntary 4% vs industry 8%. That's the number in the upcoming book No rules rules.
Were you supposed to disclose the content of the book?
I don't think quoting a number from a book is illegal or unethical. It wasn't like I am pasting a PDF here.
Kind, Empathetic, Friendly, Exciting and overall a Happy place!
Netflix is really about total transparency. If you disclose the numbers that are available to every employee, you can make millions and get in jail. That's how much the company believes you are an adult and you'll do the right things.
How would you make millions? Is it because the data can be used to predict future stock performance?
Yes. Like the subscriber numbers the day before earning reports. And use that information to buy OTM options.
@blink9999 if you are asking because you have a job offer from Netflix or thinking about applying... I would definitely encourage you to do so. You would enjoy the culture, work, and everything about Netflix

Google and you can find the culture deck
Unfortunately that is outdated and only used when convenient for the manager.
It's not outdated
