Recent hire here. I do like it here. I had a colleague in my last company who made life miserable for everyone else, and that had a profound impact on my happiness even outside of work. They are still at the company and will likely never be fired. Iâm sure there will be people here I donât get along with but it feels reassuring to know Iâm part of a company whose cultural ethos is to avoid those people, and if they slip through, to fire them.
How blunt are the feedback?
How's the koolaid taste?
So good for many many years
Been at Netflix quite long time. Still love this company and Totally agree with the article. As the article says, We donât have complex processes. This makes us think free. Also this is why we want experienced pros rather than new grads.
Would love to work there but itâs too damn far from where I live. No remote options either.
If you drink OPs koolaid though, everything will be great. It wonât be too damn far anymore.
Lol

after watching https://youtu.be/UTKIT6STSVM im honestly not surprised. Awesome approach to software engineering. Hire the best people and trust them to do the right thing. Congrats.
I enjoyed the talk and heâa right about âyou have a culture problemâ. But I think the âopen accessâ model may not work well in industries like healthcare or financial services because of the repercussions. Blindly applying Netflixâs model would be silly. so instead, he is right, make system self service and auditable. Access can be granted and revoked automatically. Wish I could work there - although the work floor seems pretty dull looks like a hotel reception area to me lol
Oh, for sure, the product I work on has *no* margin for error, which is exiting in its own right but sometimes it's fun to think about working on non-critical systems where you can go fast and break shit :-) I can see the appeal.
