Would love to know from current employees how your experience is at Netflix. - Is the culture deck a solid portrayal of your work life?

Any ex-Amazonians out there that can share insight?

Thanks for your help!

    The deck is a very accurate portrayal of the culture. Of course your experience might vary a bit given that we are huge now and with the growth we have experienced we had to trade away some of the consistency of culture across teams

      A Netflix recruiter reached out to me, but I declined because of the culture deck. Not afraid of hard work, but don’t want a constant stress of getting fired. This thread is kinda changing my view of Netflix though. How are the interviews? Lots of leetcoding problems, or more real world stuff and system design?

      Each team designs their own interview process. More on the real world stuff and system design.

    I love it. It's pretty chill. Pay is amazing. Colleagues are great. Biggest problem is that we don't invest much in advancement or education, imo.

      Can you elaborate? I thought you can take whatever courses you want (within reason) and expense them?

      Yes you are correct, it’s based on a view you know best where the areas are you need to invest in training for. Your manager can offer advice and guidance but it’s on you to do it. Much better than most of the bullshit “training” programs I’ve been on in other companies

    There is no life at Netflix. Only work. Don't expect your colleagues to consider you as a friend. Expect A team players only.

    100%. Great place to work. Been here several years and never felt the need to change.
