Netflix reviews

Constant re-orgs and too many leaders who are distant from the work create an unstable work environment, which can take a toll on morale. Burnout is rampant. The company culture is shifting as the company becomes more mature. Folks are often under-titled relative to their responsibilities. ICs will be expected to shape teams and inform the trajectory of the work more than leaders will be.

the company has grown rapidly over the last few years and during covid - the previous way of onboarding and building trust was much harder to achieve. I was at Netflix new many growth phases and this one is definitely the hardest - there are a ton of talent people in the marketing department that have been there a long time (e.g. more than 4 years) but not a lot of upward mobility so it feels like folks are getting restless. It has also become a much more political environment where it feels like leadership is most focused on decision making based on perception vs. what is best for the work and the teams. If you are a used to a political environment, this may not bother you.
