The slides were put together by Reed Hastings, the CEO of Netflix.
I usually detest this type of drivel, but I found these slides to be challenging, educational, and inspiring.
A few of my favorite slides below:
Slide 26: But unlike many companies, we practice "adequate performance gets a generous severance package"
Slide 27: We're a team, not a family. We're like a pro sports team, not a kid's recreational team. Coaches' job at every level of Netflix to hire, develop and cut smartly, so we have stars in every position
Slide 28: The Keeper Test Managers Use: "Which of my people if they told me they were leaving in two months for a similar job at a peer company would I fight hard to keep at Netflix?" The other people should get a generous severance package now, so we can open a slot to try and find a star for that role
Slide 68: Netflix Vacation Policy and Tracking: "There is no policy or tracking". "There is also no clothing policy at Netflix, but no one has come to work naked lately." - Patty McCord 2004.
Lesson: You don't need detailed policies for everything
