Netflix Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Unsolicited recruiter contacted me and connected me for a 2nd call with HRBP. HRBP was knowledgeable about Netflix & passionate about being an employee of Netflix. She asked many questions about how I could execute in role w/o process, spent most time on culture of anti process, which started to get redundant. I asked questions about role she couldnt answer with certainy about scope, priorities. She kept coming back to 'anti process'. I think disconnect was that she was mostly interested in in culture, but as a candidate, my primary interest was understanding the role so I could decide how it was similar or different from what I was already doing (which I was happy with), culture was secondary (as a passive candidate). I advised I was not interested in pursuing further when requested to come in for face to face.

Interview Details – Despite all the bad reviews I went ahead and took the opportunity to work for this company. I had my second interview today and got hired. The managers there are awesome and very friendly the interview was fun . I even got the chance to talk to some employees who told me that they love working there .

Interview Details – The initial interview with the HR was great. The process was explained and the next interview was scheduled soon after the HR interview. The Engineer who interviewed me called late (this happens in many companies). It was a skype interview and the interviewer kept yawning throughout the interview. Overall the experience was ok. The questions asked were not to hard.

Interview Details – Recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn. I followed up by email with my resume. They requested a phone call.

The phone call consisted of them verifying that I would be willing to relocate and consider a full-time position. There was no culture interview. No new information communicated beyond my resume. I got a minimal sales pitch that Netflix was awesome and paid well.

No follow up technical interview and it took an extra day to get back to me. Netflix contacted me. They had my resume for a week. Requested I prepare by looking through 150 slides, which I did. They took up at least an hour of my time. Meanwhile it was a complete waste for everyone involved. This would be no problem if I were sending my resume out. But they instigated all this, not me.

This is in contrast with Google (etc) who have been very professional, concise, positive and haven't wasted my time.

Interview Details – The hiring manager contacted with me and asked some technical questions on Feb.
2013.After one week, the hiring manager reach out to me to ask some availability for interview; then silent for couple weeks. The hiring asked for interview and I gave the time, then silent again for couple weeks again. Then a recruiter asked me again to schedule interview. after I give the time for a couple hour, the recruiter replied to you that the hiring manager said I was not a perfect match for the position and would not move forward this time. The recruiter said: "If you send me an invitation to connect on LinkedIn, I'd me happy to accept. "

my experience is very negative, so I don't plan to apply for it the second time - There are a lot good companies there.

Interview Details – My experience was very similar to that of the person who interviewed for "enhanced content catalog manager"..

I was contacted via LinkedIn by a recruiter. Recruiter was prompt but somewhat generic and repetitive in their replies. We scheduled a "phone chat" to discuss my background as it related to the position, etc. It lasted less than 20 minutes. We then scheduled a second phone call with the "hiring manager" for the team. Hiring manager asks several of the same questions (but it's ok; I get that I'm talking to a different person). I get a more fleshed out idea of what the position entails and the manager tells me to expect the recruiter to contact me again to schedule another series of interviews. I follow-up with thanks e-mail but don't hear back.

Face to face interviews go pretty well - very generic interview questions. I follow-up with another thanks e-mail but don't receive a reply. I later receive a voice mail telling me that "although feedback was positive the team didn't think you were a perfect match".

Everyone was plenty personable, but in retrospect I just didn't feel any chemistry coming from them, no positive vibes that gave me a gut feeling that I knew I would see them again. Recruiter was ok - but did not have accurate knowledge of certain aspects of the position. And - very corporate and generic.

Interview Details – Netflix recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn. Few days later, I had a telephonic conversation with the recruiter where she described the role and I talked about what I'm doing and what I'm looking for. After that there were 2 telephonic interviews. Most of the questions were easy. They were from BST, core java etc.

In the f2f interviews, I had 4 rounds (45 mins earch) and, 3 of them were technical. They asked me to implement Insertion sort, check for valid BST, k-means clustering (I was interviewing for ML related role), design a mobile app that recommends nearby playing movies. Except Insertion sort, I think I did well.

I felt the process was smooth and the ppl were nice. The only thing i didn't like was that they didn't contacted me after the interview. I followed up with them later and then they said I'm not a good fit.

Interview Details – Applied on linkedin and got a call from recruiter. After two phone interviews asked me to come for an onsite interview. After seeing lot of negative reviews (layoff's) I totally lost interest in the company. first interview went well with some coding and analytical questions. Next found another interviewer to be arrogant, he is well prepared with his questions and not even willing to listen my answers or approaches. I decided there itself its not the company i want to work for with lot of arrogant people and layoff's and stopped giving answers anyways the guy is not listening. Next comes the interview with an hiring manager asked couple of questions which are general but can see lot of arrogance in his body language. I felt like I want to leave and don't the interview anymore and showed it in my body language and the manager found it and asked that they are looking for senior people. There I left the interview in between and saved an hour of time. I already had couple of offers in my hand and was very picky when comes to work culture.

Interview Details – Hiring process was superfast. Hiring manager contacted me on linked in and then recruiter called to setup phone conversion with hiring manager. Phone conversation actually turned out to be technical screening with another engineer in addition to hiring manager asking questions related to resume. Same day recruiter called to arrange onsite interview which was scheduled a week later. Onsite interview consisted 4 rounds, 3 technical and 1 with recruiter. Interview was related to my resume and job requirements. It was not too difficult. However, they were stressing upon the performance of the each individual from the beginning. I really felt like they are saying, if they don't like someones work, they will fire him. They don't have any organizational process to follow and everyone is free to follow his own process. I knew right from the beginning that I wasn't the right fit there. Interview experience was neutral.
