Netflix reviews

Poor culture. The c-suite has no idea how poorly teams are being treated. People are encouraged to speak out (Candor) but then are retaliated against and ultimately don't pass the "keeper test" for reasons that leave Netflix exposed to litigation. Hence, the "generous" severance. Very subjective w/no accountability. Netflix does not provide opportunities for professional development to all employees. Only a select few get approval. The D&I initiatives are watered down. That team is focused on its individual, personal endeavors and private businesses instead of Netflix.

The high stress workplace is real and true. We called it “Netflix and Drill” opposed to Chill. Employees on your team are not afraid to give you feedback which is encouraged in the workplace. Whether you are an assistant giving feedback to a director or the other way around , everyone is more or else walking on egg shells. Very little training and everyone expects you to be a top performer. There is the expression “drinking from the fire hose” , literally blasting you with information everyday. I was expected to support a director running a 15 person team perfectly after 1 week of questionable training. Also the hiring process was deceiving - they promised a great role with salary which has different benefits than hourly employees , then proceeded to demand references including my employer at the time BEFORE sending me their offer. I had to basically announce I was leaving to my former boss of over 2 years (with no choice) before even having an offer letter and they then had the audacity to reduce my role and benefits to an hourly role with brief apology. I had to take it and was laid off 5 months later...
