Netflix reviews

1. The feedback I got was only positive. So, I did not experience 'we tell people things to their face' 2. Internally strong leadership is defined as 'have you let anyone go' rather than showing good judgement and making good decisions 3. Managers have no prior experience and lack people skills. 4. In data science, it seems to be about writing papers than having business impact. The system is optimized towards presenting in monthly and quarterly meetings than creating actionable recommendations. 5. Sourcing team is incompetent and as managers you have to do your own sourcing. They are far worse than Amazon and Facebook. 6. There is no growth position wise for individual contributors. This is a consequence of having a flat structure. 7. Disagreeing with a VP who has limited visibility into your group can be fairly negative. As managers showing a back bone can be negative. It's encouraged in the document but not advisable in practice.

Horrible culture, everyone is afraid they will get fired any second. People hire their own friends/groups or people with less skills/experience so they can defend themselves against weaker employees and throw them under the bus. Lord help you if you don't know anyone when you get hired to form a posse' with.
