#2The article seems oddly gushy about Blind or "the anonymous employee chat app for employees" -> There must be a better way to write that.
It "ask them the kinds of sensitive questions that you normally can't ask: Do you think you are paid fairly? Are you interested in leaving your job?"
The sample size is 4174 people across ~40+ companies. So I am not really sure this can be trusted, looks more like a click bait article.

#3That Glassdoor reference on Netflix software engineer salaries is wrong/outdated from my understanding - I don’t know a single Netflixer making less than $300k.
Netflix seems to have an unusually open culture in general, including topics such as salary - they put their money where their mouth is and basically egg everyone on to beat them. Gotta respect that a company is willing to do that (I don’t work for them, but I do work for one of the big public tech companies listed in those charts)

Not to mention the folks on this app aren't exactly drawn from a random distribution. I wouldn't be surprised if there are extreme biases at play.

#5Netflix has a lower rating (3.6) than Google (4.4) and Facebook (4.6) on Glassdoor.
Obviously Glassdoor isn't completely reliable since anyone can write a review, but Blind is also subject to selection bias.

#6Without even looking at the article, I would guess so simply because what Netflix purports to do is what they actually do and how they make money, so there's no ethical shell game being played against starry-eyed junior developers.

#7Duh. The ones that survive are making ~400k/yr pure cash and very very happy. I've heard they will fire very quickly though but those that fit into the culture must be extremely happy.

#8"When asked to rate the statement, "I'm compensated fairly," 4174 people responded, Blind says."
Funny how they don't mention how many people answered the other questions.
The survey, as well as the article, is bullshit clickbait.

> so there's no ethical shell game being played
Netflix has some shady stuff like DRM going on, while pretending it's not their fault it was pushed into HTML standard.

Pretty minor part of their business though
