Welcome to Netflix, Laura!

Congratulations on joining the EMEA AV Production Team!

We are thrilled to have you on board. Netflix receives thousands of applicants each year, and (as evidenced by our rigorous interview process) we carefully select the best person for each role.
We’ve created this resource for you to ease into your work with Netflix and with us as a team. To get things started, here are some words of advice & encouragement from colleagues at Netflix!

Advice from those who’ve been there...

Really take that first 3 months to learn everything, I know you want to execute immediately but you will wish for those 3 months back later.
- Emily Lee (joined Netflix in January 2020)

Ask a million questions, and there's none too small. Everyone is here to set you up for success: take advantage of that!
- Brent Peters (joined Netflix in May 2021)

Take the first few months to focus on learning over doing. Use this time to get to know the team and our partners; build an understanding of what people do. This will be a great foundation to have before you start the 'doing'!
- Sophia Chu (joined Netflix in January 2021)

When reading a memo for the first time,
hide the comments
⁠
so you can focus on the original text. Comment threads are interesting, but can be distracting and lead you down rabbit holes! You will never finish a memo if you click on any & all links.
- Dani Cardillo (joined Netflix in July 2018)

You are surrounded by stunning colleagues. You’re one of them! After a short time of meeting with colleagues and reading some of the very smart memos out there and seeing people’s calendars chocked full of meetings, you may experience imposter syndrome. Know that you are not alone! It’s a Netflix thing.
In fact,
there is a memo on Imposter Syndrome
⁠
.
I like a previous Netflixer’s quote: “Imposter Syndrome is a liar twice. First, it convinces you that everyone else is doing terrifically well all the time. Second, it convinces you that you’re not. Neither of these things are true.”
Another tip, “go links” (go/____ in your browser) are fantastic. A lot of times some has created an obvious go link for important sites, such as go/acronyms.
- Morgan Swift (joined Netflix June 2021)

Our Buddy System

We like to use an onboarding buddy system for your first month or so to help give you a consistent partner/person to gain context from.
