Netflix is a global entertainment and streaming service, delivering content to more than 500 million members across over 190 countries. The company grew from a DVD-by-mail service into a worldwide entertainment business spanning streaming technology, software engineering, product development and content production.
Its technical work spans streaming technology, large-scale platform engineering and product development. Engineering teams build and maintain the Netflix streaming service, whose code reaches millions of members instantly, and technology work intersects with content production and greenlighting, where greenlit stories become global cultural phenomena. The industry verticals in which the company operates include entertainment, streaming, media and technology.
Netflix describes its operating model as one of "freedom and responsibility", in which employees are empowered to make decisions that directly affect members. The stated approach is "context, not control", intended to let teams move quickly, with an emphasis on open, honest communication focused on impact rather than optics, on candor and feedback, and on the principle that the best ideas prevail regardless of their source. The company characterises its culture as "people over process".
Netflix operates globally, with a presence in more than 190 countries.
