  Also, those who got upset from getting fired (or frustrated from not getting an offer) really didn't understand the culture. It's an amazing company, but they're very clear that its culture isn't for everyone. Getting fired (or not hired) doesn't mean you're incompetent; it just means the business needs have changed, and they now need something different than you can offer. I think this [1] is probably one of the best interviews with Reed Hastings. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYhP08uuffs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYhP08uuffs

    Except it is misguided. You need high functioning teams not individuals.

      Without a doubt. But what leads you to believe that they don't have highly functioning teams?

  Netflix has a long history of jacking their prices as soon as they get to the next level of subscribers. Their long term strategy might be somehow similar to ticketmaster, except that it'll be way tougher for them to get a monopoly on this market.
