Redução atinge 6% (1000 pessoas) do quadro de funcionários e afeta áreas de tecnologia, produto, jurídico e recursos humanos, informa o Wall Street Journal. Earlier today Netflix parted ways with a number of our #Java Platform folks...all of them world-class engineers who have worked on the foundations of our Java and #JVM stack, as well as our high-performance distributed systems software and infrastructure. If you are looking to hire smart, talented, and driven people at any level, here in the US or in Poland, hit me up as I can refer some of the best! My DMs* are open.*or whatever they are called on LinkedIn.Ian Brown, Java Platform at Netflix Meus amigos, tá sobrando nada. https://g1.globo.com/google/amp/trabalho-e-carreira/noticia/2026/10/14/netflix-cortes.ghtml

  • “Eu queria saber o que esses caras ficam fazendo que minha Netflix sempre foi uma bosta e nunca vi melhorarem nada, pelo contrário. Parece que só fica pior. Uma vez tinha um bug chato com a minha TV, entrei em contato com o suporte, que foi excelente, mas a resposta foi "é um bug conhecido e não temos prazo pra consertar". Outra vez entrei em contato com o suporte pra mandar sugestões de melhor”
