I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Netflix in May 2013
Interview
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.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Netflix
Interview
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.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Gatos, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
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.
