I'm an engineering manager at a Fortune 500 company. The dumbest engineer on our team left for Netflix. He got a pay raise too.

Our engineers are fucking morons. And this guy was the dumbest of the bunch. If you think Netflix hires top tier talent, you don't know Netflix.

Reputation usually lags reality by 5+ years. See: Google.

Absolutely right. Netflix was once all about the sports team mentality. Now they’re Man Utd.

Given Man Utd under Ferguson used to be THE football team, you could say they were always Man Utd and still are ;-)

Haha indeed, but I’m a gooner. You’d never see me admit that.
