I perceive the Netflix culture as strange since this is very rare. Many companies have their secrets and hide them from their employees. However, this is not observed in Netflix, and what is more surprising is that they can look at each other’s wages and discuss in detail the reason for dismissal (Ramachandran & Flint, 2018). On the other hand, their culture is perceived as creativity and a distinctive feature from all other companies.
I like transparency the most. The company does not hide any secrets that it hides from its employees (Ramachandran & Flint, 2018). However, I am not too fond of the fact that the director can be fired for one incorrectly expressed word. It is considered disrespectful to a person’s personality because everyone can make mistakes. Accordingly, a small mistake is not worth being deprived of work.
On the one hand, if I worked in such a culture, I would become more attentive and observant. On the other hand, I would not like to be in such a culture where employees are afraid of being fired and, for this reason, do not support their colleagues in difficult times.
Netflix culture is the driving force, and this is due to its great popularity in Hollywood (Ramachandran & Flint, 2018). Their unique culture allows them to stand out among other companies and arouse the interest of their viewers. The company’s internal rules ensure individuality and originality,
Even though Netflix’s culture is the driving force behind the company, it’s unsustainable. It is because the company quickly changes its employees due to minor mistakes. Employees take with them the baggage of knowledge and experience in this company. Consequently, changing old employees to new ones carries the risk of failure.
A person willing to devote his time to work without being distracted by other things would fit in nicely with Netflix. Moreover, the company needs a person ready to follow internal rules and culture strictly.
