Netflix Culture Presentation

There is a presentation out on slideshare on the Netflix culture, and how they treat their employees.  Definitely interesting reading, to see where there are strengths and weaknesses compared to your own organization.

I think the most interesting part of it is the observations starting on slide 45 about talent vs. complexity.  It meshes quite well with what Google has said for years that people tend to tune out: the #1 problem in an organization to hire the best people.

What was behind the New York Times Netflix infographic

There is a great article done by a member of the team that did the New York Times Netflix infographic.  I especially love the fact that they wrote a scraper in ruby to pull in some of the data they needed off of google search results.
