I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Netflix in Dec 2011
Interview
I really thought the interview went well. Or so I thought. The director was impressed so was the manager and recruiter. Netflix is expanding into other markets and they like the experiences I have.
The position is with the analytics dept, which is more horizontal than vertical. Would have loved to work in a dept like that.
I have a lot of experiences with rec eng/sys and I seriously thought that I had a chance. Come to think of it, I feel that they are prying for what I do in my current company, ie methods, algorithms etc.
Ideas are dime and a dozen. Good thing is I have more in the bag.
