I am forced to leave Netflix because they give false promises. I was an intern first and have been a FTE for a year now and have not gotten the comp changes I was promised. Since have seen many people come in entry level and get so much more than me but they are so much less equipped and worse than I was as an intern. Do they hate their own?
