Well, perhaps just the N, then. But Netflix has always been the odd-duck in FAANG.

(And yes, you can point out reasons not to work at Netflix, but it seems like a whole nother level than the rest of FAANG.)

There's been a couple Netflix public outrage instances. Like when they split up their pricing plan for streaming and DVDs, or the backlash over Cuties. But Netflix is still going strong.

Yeah, mostly cos they make no money ;)

[WJW → disgruntledphd2]

1.7 billion in profit on ~7 billion in revenue in the first quarter of 2021 counts as "no money" these days?

[disgruntledphd2 → WJW]

Yeah, because it essentially happened because they stopped producing content in 2020, due to the pandemic.

Netflix have needed external financing to stay in business up till this year. This is very unlike the rest of FAANG (Amazon is similar, but do throw off a lot of free cash).
