Why I Left Netflix to Join a 3 Month Old Startup

Over the past few months, I’ve been asked about this enough times that I eventually found it a fitting topic for the first post for this blog. Let me start by saying that I loved working at Netflix! Nothing in life is perfect, but my time working for Netflix was a period of immense professional and personal growth. It felt like the first opportunity in my career where I could test the limits of my technical skill set. The culture of personal responsibility taught me how to own my failures and how to understand my successes. I’ve learned a tremendous amount from my colleagues and many of my professional relationships have extended into incredible friendships.
