Netflix opened itself up to questions about working at the company in a LinkedIn thread — and people jumped at the opportunity.

At the time of publication, there were more than 1,000 comments on the thread, with questions ranging from " to "WMany were curious about what it's actually like to work at the company.

Netflix actively encourages its employees to interview at other companies, the company's former chief talent officer, Patty McCord, told Business Insider.

At the same time, Netflix has no problem letting go of employees. The company makes it clear it only keeps those who are "highly effective."

The "culture" section of the company's website reads: "Succeeding on a dream team is about being effective, not about working hard. Sustained 'B' performance, despite an 'A' for effort, gets a respectful generous severance package."
