"Netflix appears as a top-notch diversity and inclusion student when looking at its neighbors in the Silicon Valley: indeed, women make 47% of Netflix total US workforce, and 47% of total leadership jobs when women only account respectively for 17% and 18% of Twitter and Uber total's workforce. Netflix said that these figures are naturally achieved thanks to their Culture Memo that reminds all employees of the company culture, a company where freedom and responsibility are key, and a "speak-up culture" that has become paramount for the company.[4]
Whilst there are no official media releases on how Netflix is achieving these figures, one might think that events such as Women in Tech at Netflix or #SHERULESINDATA[5], as well as sponsorship of Women in Tech & Allies, give Netflix a fairer and more inclusive vibe than other companies. This inclusive culture also extends to the content Netflix is producing: 20% of Netflix US original films in 2019 were directed by women - almost twice the figure of the women directors in US 100 top-grossing movies in 2019."
