Netflix Freedom & Responsibility Culture

Aug|6|2009 Mark Gallagher and Laura Savard

We’d like to thank Netflix for sharing their cultural blueprint. This public posting only serves to underscore the authenticity of their statements. Many companies attempt to instill strong cultural values, but often fail to engage and inspire. The following is a quote from a Netflix employee:

“I was sent this on my first day working at Netflix, with a note from my manager saying ‘study it and be ready to discuss it.’ I’ve been here now for 37 days, and everything I’ve seen in terms of how things work here is entirely and completely consistent with the principles in this slide deck. For the first time in my life, I feel like I’ve been truly unleashed to make a difference. It’s a little intoxicating, to be honest.”

How does your company integrate new hires into its corporate culture?
