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.

I'm going to avoid leaving a zero-effort response like "actually you're the problem" like half of the replies and contribute:

Why do you call your engineers morons? Is it a lack of intelligence, a lack of wisdom, a lack of experience, inability to meet deadlines, reading comprehension, or something else?

I wonder if Netflix is just hiring for different criteria (e.g. you want people who will make thoughtful decisions while they want people who have memorized all the leetcode problems).
