You re-conceptualize issues to discover solutions to hard problems.
You are open-minded in search of great ideas. You seek what is best for Netflix, rather than what is best for yourself or your group. You are quietly confident and openly humble. You care intensely about our members and Netflix's success. You inspire others with your thirst for excellence. You are able to be vulnerable, in search of truth. You question actions inconsistent with our values. You take smart risks and are open to possible failure. You make tough decisions without agonizing. You say what you think, when it’s in the best interest of Netflix, even if it is uncomfortable. You seek to understand our members around the world, and how we entertain them. You contribute effectively outside of your specialty. You provide candid, helpful, timely feedback to colleagues. You adapt your communication style to work well with people from around the world who may not share your native language. You maintain calm poise in stressful situations to draw out the clearest thinking. You listen well and seek to understand before reacting. You are concise and articulate in speech and writing. You make decisions based on the long term, not near term. You are good at using data to inform your intuition. You think strategically, and can articulate what you are, and are not, trying to do. You identify root causes, and get beyond treating symptoms. You make wise decisions despite ambiguity. The more these values sound like you, and describe people you want to work with, the more likely you will thrive at Netflix. Below are our values, the specific behaviors and skills we care about most. The real values of a firm are shown by who gets rewarded or let go. With this approach, we are a more flexible, fun, stimulating, creative, collaborative and successful organization. More specifically, we have great people working together as a dream team. Our core philosophy is people over process. are extraordinarily candid with each other. share information openly, broadly, and deliberately. encourage independent decision-making by employees. What is special about Netflix, though, is how much we: Like all great companies, we strive to hire the best and we value integrity, excellence, respect, inclusion, and collaboration.
To get there, we have an amazing and unusual employee culture.
If we succeed, there is more laughter, more empathy, and more joy. Entertainment, like friendship, is a fundamental human need it changes how we feel and gives us common ground.
