A friend posted a link to a presentation that could be legit, could be part marketing. Check out his NetFlix Culture post. While it sounds good and pure, I am somewhat dubious of the overall impact to the organization. Anecdotal evidence indicates something less than complete satisfaction with the process. But these people could be people who fell out as a result of the process and want to spend their time grinding axes.
That being said, there is a lot of content in the NetFlix deck and it is a worthwhile read. Some of the slides have an indication of "Confidential" at the bottom which makes me think that it is more image/marketing related because if it was really intended to be confidential, then it wouldn't be available for everyone to read. I found the annual compensation review to be interesting. This is a real motivating factor, but it can also create a feeling that you are working for your lunch.
Some people will look at that presentation as an inspiring opportunity. I can't believe I haven't included this before, but my favorite presentation is Shift Happens_. If you aren't familiar with it, you should watch it. I watch it frequently to recharge the batteries. I find a new nugget every time I watch it.
