I can’t imagine anything more “pure negative” than a business culture with stack racking and firing people who aren’t “keepers”. Netflix’s success is from being first to market, pure and simple, and has nothing to do with a toxic management structure that, from all accounts, is abusive to its workforce.

- laluser 6y agoWhy do you think they are abusive to their workforce? They are clear about their culture and pay top dollar for engineering talent. There are no surprises when you join.
- yibg 6y agoStack ranking and the "keepers" test are not the same things. There is no stack ranking at Netflix. i.e. they don't let go of the bottom x percent. In practice every company does a version of the "keepers" test. The difference is where the bar is for keeping. At the very least companies will fire people that are just plain incompetent. That is deciding the keep line is basic competence.
