netflix has a policy of hiring great people and booting them after their first big contribution.
basically a way to get top talent, lure with promises of stability and career, get them to do what should have been a highly paid consulting jig and boot them.
after experiencing that second hand, i will take my time to contribute to projects that wont benefit them directly
It wouldn't seem in Netflix's (or any company's) best interest to behave like that: essentially, firing someone that has produced, that they're under-paying.
You're under no obligation to share more details, but you'll have to recognize that you have a high burden of proof here if you want others to believe you.
I enjoyed the competition and would do similar ones again.
Source? I worked for Netflix for two years and loved it. I left to explore working for smaller organizations. Most of the best engineers that I worked with are still there. The great engineers I know that have left, left on their own because the recent stock performance has enabled them to explore other opportunities. Netflix has the best engineering culture that I have experienced.
This deck is an accurate representation of the Netflix culture. The company is big so you will have different experiences in different parts of the company, but I felt like leadership was very serious about encouraging the culture described in that deck.
That deck describes the type of culture that I am productive and happy working in.
