Netflix reviews

-Innovation is dying at this company. If you compare what the product was in 2011 vs. now, they are mostly playing with video playback in the UI and minor features. Probably the reason being, everyone wants to keep their job and want to have as many projects to continue. - Does lot of A/B testing, even for minor text changes. I'm glad they are not in hardware business else would have ruined the company. Felt product team is good, but not sure about what is right and don't have gut feeling on any thing. - Engineering teams competes with each other to build tools. Sometimes the work done for 9 months is thrown because other team built tool with cutting-edge technology. - Freedom and responsibility is there but it all depends upon on your leader & how much he allows to exercise it. - NIH within team syndrome. - Managers are sometimes pain and always want to build their 'own' team with 'own' people which discourages existing team. - IF you are looking for growth in the team, be careful of which team you are joining. - Favoritism is there and if the Mgr is really bad with employees, but good with his boss, he will get promoted. 360 only matters from peers and not from whom you manage. - Can't raise question on why we are doing this.If you are not aligned with manager's vision, sorry but you will get axed soon based on ground of technical imcompetency. - They try lots of recommendation A/B tests and merch logic but they are not sure if people will watch the title or not. Ultimately they need to realize they are streaming company which has value in only 1 thing : Content. If you build great product but content is not effective, you are relying on product and not content to sell. If rivals catch up on product , its an issue.
