I agree. While it's nice that they're honest about it, and I'm glad they also have a policy against hiring "brilliant jerks", it's still not a company I would ever work for. i'd rather get paid less and work at a place where I don't constantly have a sword hanging over my neck. I'd take job security over more pay in a heartbeat, and I'd rather work at a company where being "nice" and "hard-working" is more valuable than performance. It's a problem with the whole Silicon Valley culture; like, I'm not interested in doing something world-changing at my job, so I don't care about working at a big household name like "Netflix", and this whole culture is something that can only exist in SV -- your company wouldn't get far firing so many people in any other place -- and it's one of the reasons why I have no desire to ever set foot in NorCal. Honestly, the next time I end up looking for a job, I'm thinking about getting out of the private sector and doing government work, just to avoid this kind of scenario.
