No you should come back to this video when you are deciding to give netflix an opportunity to hire/interview you. Because form what i get from the video is everyday its a competitive arena, and i dont like it in a way if i have to put it in an analogy, 1. Giving LC, CC, CF contests daily, its exhaustive, i mean adrenaline rush is good, but for every instance you want new high and these contests can be hard and daily contest will go harder harder , so if u fail in one it will be like, oh my manager will get a reason to not fight for me, so if you see, in a blink you previous reputation is zero, and every time you try to build and break it its going to be nightmare. So choose it wisely.
@@mohammedshahed5051 BUilding projects is a pain in the a$$. Nobody wants to hire me anyways no matter how many projects that I build, how many certification that I have, and how much skills I have.
Valve (Company behind Steam Platform) also has this exact structure. No handholding. No Project Managers. No testers. You write the code, you ship it directly to the consumer.
this is 100% true, as someone who is working at netflix most of the engineers (senior) who are called as informed captain makes the decision based on data after farming for dissent (socialize your approach, get consensus and move on)... this can be highly stressful since you need to take 100% ownership of your product and make 100% decisions on how to move (fast or slow) with it. Keepers test is always scary and its taken seriously within each team. But that said, getting feedback is somewhat lies in ur hands, u need to get 360 feedback and drive ur career here
Rahul is putting it very polite. Netflix culture is cut throat and there are only 2 options. Stunning performance or leave/fired. Also their interview process is not typical faang. The other company with similar culture is Roku. They pay like 85-90 percent in cash.
This is a great video. Would it be possible for you to make a more in depth video of the bottom-up engineering cultures vs the corporate cultures? I'm not sure how deep you can possibly dive into it. I'm just trying to gain a better understanding of what the day-to-day is like and how drastic the difference can be as someone coming from a dev shop that is more top-down and within a non-tech company. It seems like Apple and Microsoft are probably most similar to what I'm used to but I'm very curious what it's like being a SWE at places like Meta and Netflix. And I'm not really sure what is meant by Google having a Product Manager culture. These are interesting topics and this is a great series.
Super interesting approach to people, performance, and organizational efficiency. Unfortunately, the product has devolved into one that I absolutely despise - it sucks, to not mince words. The pricing, the selectional and availability, the user experience are the same or worse across every angle a consumer might look at the product from. Curious how the product and this people solution set are, if at all, related. great video - thanks for sharing!
So much hype about hiring “high performance engineers “, but their system broke down when the viewers started piling up during Tyson vs Paul boxing match and other similar highly viewed events
5:45 @Rahul hey, I am from India and have just got a job in Goldman Sachs as a fresher SDE, and here they don't give Ownership( stocks or ESPOs) but relatively good in-hand salary and bonus incentive. Would you say if GS has a fair pay here, just like Netflix?
Netflix tech although they pioneered engineering stuff to build things at scale. Currently building netflix tech is pretty easy so there is no really an advantage for netflix as tech company.
Netflix could spend millions on engineers and fail to simply follow the formula: Do not cancel things with high ratings. Stream 4K by default having resolution tires just spooks normies away.
Yes, at their scale they would but they are a bit more lean than the other big tech companies. Maybe you are only thinking about from a software but missing the infrastructure perspective. Think about sheer number of requests they get, reliability of service required, load balancing etc.

I’ll come back to this video when I’ve actually gotten a job at Netflix. For now, just gotta keep grinding
You got this
good luck wendy
Same here!

You always need testers. Anyone who says otherwise is mistaken

Can you do nvidia and bloomberg
I love this series, great work!
Thanks 🙏🏽 these videos havs been very eye-opening to make

How is their interview process different from that of FAANG?
@DK-ox7ze it's all specialization in specific fields and roles. 90% of time recruiters reach out to candidates based on profile than viceversa
Eye opening to a guy who has yet to work with Netflix, would love to explore implementing some of their structure and rules to build better companies

I wonder how much different is the performance pressure compared to other companies like Amazon which are famous for PIPs?

But honestly, I am really loving Taro so far :)

great eye opener... thanks Rahul
Can you make a video about work culture in Tesla, and SpaceX?
sir , please make a video about your thoughts and predictions in tech for 2025 .🙏
I did not even know that Netflix needed a lot of engineers. There are just streaming video. Is that really so innovative?
Yes, at their scale they would but they are a bit more lean than the other big tech companies. Maybe you are only thinking about from a software but missing the infrastructure perspective. Think about sheer number of requests they get, reliability of service required, load balancing etc.
Very helpful yt channel
