While I like most of the Netflix culture (freedom & responsibility, high performance etc.) - unfortunately, at least in the LA office, due to poor leadership, their actions don't always seem consistent with the company's philosophies. There is almost no room for growth (they say they promote from within - but yes they do - ALMOST NEVER). They say they value high performance, however, there are some people that have been there for years that are anything but. However, these same people are good at APPEARING like they get it - and that's the problem. The LA office has grown very quickly over the last couple of years, and they also have a new Director of HR who unfortunately can not be trusted and likes/dislikes people based on 'appearances' and other factors that don't accurately reflect their job performance and abilities. It's very sad - because Netflix overall has some great values - too bad that the learderhip in the LA office (including LA's HR people) do not accurately implement those values.
