I applied online. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2017
Interview
I applied through the Netflix career website and then received a response the next day asking to schedule an interview. I prepared and took the phone interview a few days later. From the very start, the recruiter seemed pressed for time and rushed me through my answers. Interview lasted maybe 13 minutes. I felt as if I spoke confidently and gave good content in my answers, but I just felt from the start that she already knew she wasn't going to move forward with me. This showed me how willing Netflix will cast people aside and made me aware that I'm not comfortable with that kind of culture, as much as I do love their software and content.

Question 1
Q: What resonated with you most about the culture deck?
Very chill and easy. It was a polite chat about the job and the culture at netflix, especially given that the DC office is a bit newer. Very much just a conversation generally rather than pointed interview!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Netflix (Hollywood, CA) in Jan 2025

Friendly, Welcoming, and Streamlined Process
Everyone I interacted with at Netflix was incredibly friendly, approachable, and professional. From the start, the process was made as smooth and stress-free as possible, with clear communication and genuine support at every step. It felt collaborative rather than intimidating, and I appreciated the transparency and respect shown throughout. Overall, it was a very positive experience that reflects the company’s strong culture and values.
Talked to the recruiter and then hiring manager within HR. Was then asked to submit script coverage. Then met with direct supervisor as well as another high up exec in the department. Overall experience took around one month.
