“If you talk about engineering, they certainly have an excellent engineering culture, but I don't think they're implicitly more talented than many other companies.”
If we took a random sample of Netflix engineers and compared them to a company with weak engineering cultures, like Blockbuster, I’m sure we could agree that Netflix engineers are more talented.

- jpgvm 6y agoPound for pound I would probably say yes. Netflix is often where the best of the best aspire to be even if they have already done rotations at FB/Google. At least in my field (infrastructure, big data, etc) this mostly holds true.
