“No one comes to Netflix as a perfect human being. We all have ways that we could grow and improve.”- Elizabeth Stone
The Story Behind This Song
Elizabeth Stone, Netflix CTO, describes a culture where employees regularly ask their managers 'Am I passing your keeper test?' — creating a lightness around conversations that most companies avoid entirely. Until 2022, Netflix had no IC levels at all — all engineers were just 'senior engineers.' The Keeper Test isn't a formal review; it's an ongoing mental exercise.
