I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Netflix
Interview
The manager sent email and then had quick chat. Then recruiter followed up requesting reading their 100+ page culture document. Then technical phone screen seems to be easy and feedback is good. I thought I will go onsite. The following day, recruiter sent email stating skill miss match. It is kind of wasting time to ask for phone screen if they knew the mismatch in the first place.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Netflix in Jan 2015
Interview
Brought in for a half day of interviews, mostly with other software engineers and technical managers. Based on my performance in the first half of the interview process, they decided to not continue with the 2nd half (which would have been with executives and representatives from HR).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a function that takes a string as an arg, and returns the same string with all duplicates removed.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Gatos, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Straight forward and quick. Very technical with " culture fit" interviews after passing the technical part. Once I got to the fit part it was really a matter of understanding the culture and them making sure you are a fit for it. Netflix also wants people who are very excited to work there. If you go in for an interview you should know the product well and be able to talk about the pros and cons of using Netflix from your personal standpoint
