I know I'm biased because I worked there, but I think Netflix is still true to its values.
It's always been about sharing stories with as many people as possible.
They green light stuff that no one else will, some bad, some good, but they give a lot of storytellers a voice when no one else will.
I remember that the legal department was surprisingly small, mainly because they don't go around suing everyone all the time.
Overall I'd say they have managed to stay true, but to their advantage, their values have always been the most profitable path, so they never had to really choose between profit and ethics.
