Netflix Features
- Netflix feature Q: what is one feature change or new feature you would like to see in Netflix? Guys, hv an interview with Netflix & wanted to get a unbiased open ended poll with blind community that I can talk about. Thanks
- How did the Netflix PM prioritize the ‘next episode’ feature? Coz everyone else just copied. #tech
- What do Netflix engineers actually do? Netflix looks to be a fully finished product. All the complexity is handled by AWS since the service is fully cloud powered. People have Netflix for newly released shows not for the engineering features… makes you wonder what their engineers actually do? I feel Netflix can be effectively run by cons
- What is happening to Netflix stock? People who work at netflix: do you feel like the ux team and product owners are not listening to devs for new features and redesigns to implement? Being apart if a FAANG company is pretty serious. I feel like they should be reimagineering the most futuristic experience. Has the borderline vegitat
- Netflix Auto Preview @netflix Does anyone know why there still exist the auto preview option without the option to disable it? This is such an annoying feature and there are plenty of complaints about it. So why no one in Netflix care about it to change the feature? I’m positive it’s causing lots of people canceling the
- Can people explain how the Amazon Prime Video site is worse than Netflix? I keep seeing this thrown around everywhere (blind, reddit, etc.)? Are people talking about aesthetics only? navigation? recommendations? the video player? It can’t be page load times because doesn’t Netflix run a lot of its stuff on AWS? Personally I think the sites are pretty comparable usabili
- Computer Vision at Netflix We know that Netflix has this amazing recommendation system, but it seems to be far behind Prime Video in terms of Computer Vision. On Prime, you can pause at any instant and get character/actor info, fun facts etc. Noticed Netflix hiring some CV folks recently. What does CV at Netflix look like?
- Looking to grow as a PM in 2022 I had a really fantastic year at AWS. Joined as an L6 PMT-ES. Wrote 2 PRFAQs from scratch and launched 2 big products (launched at re:Invent) and a few iterative features as well. I am now feeling that I won’t be able to grow more next year. Too early for promo to L7. This makes me want to look for
- vote Nvidia is a new N in FAANG Title says it all. With latest advancements in gpu, cpu, arm, av, deep learning, you name it, Nvidia stocks sky rockets and have a bright feature! Forget about Netflix, it is a past. #stocks #faang TC: 800k and growing.
- Issues with VR/ 360 videos on Netflix and Youtube Just trying to understand what kind of issues / limitations you face while watching VR/ 360 videos on Netflix or YouTube. Are there features that you would love to have ?
- HBO MAX - UX ! can we get a next item play button 🥴 Come on. Not asking more, just a next item or previous item button on the faking 📺 Like who are product managers and designers at your company! This is minimalist feature🥴 Something to learn from Netflix, although let’s not go there 📉 ⬅️ ⏸ ➡️ #tech #swe #hbomax #softwareengineer #userinterfa
- Facebook DE onsite Product Sense/Data Modeling rounds What type of questions can you expect for the above 2 rounds? Product Sense - are we expected to know Facebook products/features and their KPIs and how to calculate them? Data Modeling - are we asked to model say a Netflix feature or a Instagram feature and write sql around it? I have got experie
- Netflix software engineering: what are the biggest challenges? Netflix is an awesome product. It has been pretty feature complete for a while now. So what do software engineers do now? Is it mostly maintaining the product and improving infrastructure? Are there still lots of hidden issues in the system that requires refactoring? Genuinely want to know.
- vote Are projects at FAANGMULA actually interesting or are people just TC chasing? I’m not talking about exceptions where you get to work on exciting new R&D projects. I’m talking about the majority of the FAANGMULA software engineers who just add features and fix bugs to existing code. For reference: FAANGMULA = Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Uber, Lyft, A
- Netflix getting a lot worse The interface is horrible now and the selection doesn't seem as good. Interface: too many "features" got added and that makes it slow as fuck to scroll through the shows. The autoplay of trailers, and the extra large cards for Netflix original content in particular makes it really annoying. Overal
- Dear Netflix One of your best assets is your personalized recommendations. It's really, really good. Feature request: "Netflix and chill" mode - two users (possibly different accounts or within the same account) login at once. Ratings on movies show the ratings combined for all users (min or mean)
- Why is Netflix so bad!? I have a TCL Roku TV at home. Most of the Roku channels work okay. The Netflix channel, however, always stumbles on itself (likely, from what I’m assuming, because of the autoplay “feature”). I know I’ve heard the Roku channel ecosystem isn’t great for development, but seriously how hard is it to
- Netflix removed Ratings - Thoughts ? I am absolutely hating the fact that Netflix removed the star ratings feature and changed it to % match, which has made it much more difficult for me to select a movie/show to watch. What do other people think ? Shitty movies that I would never watch are showing as 98% match whereas some really goo
- What are some of the interesting product engineering challenges at Netflix? I know a lot of work goes into content delivery and content production, and no doubt both are extremely important to the Netflix service, but what are some user facing product innovations in the works at Netflix? It seems once you have a video player with some nice transport controls, thumbnail pre
- Lets help transport ukrainians and other refugees Dear Blind Community, I really want to help Ukraine and other refugees. Here's a crazy idea. Idea: Let's build a website/app to connect those who are willing to transport with Ukrainians/refugees who desperately need help. I need a team if 3-4 people. PM - To think through prioritization of feat
- Netflix SDET I'm interested in a SDET position and I'm wondering if the role is as respected as a SWE at Netflix. This role is the closest match to my skillset in terms of language, tools and libraries. I'm currently a hybrid engineer, meaning I develop new features and am also responsible for automation.
- Netflix engineering work How would Netflixers rate the engineering work? Anything interesting going on or is it just keeping the site up and maintaining/capacity-extending the existing infra? Seems like most of the product and features were already built years back and now it's just a matter of producing original content an
- Feeling stuck at current job. I have been with my current team for 3 years now. Initially it was interesting with some important feature work.Now that everything is stabilized I don't see the need of so many engineers. If tomorrow everyone quits, service will still run fine and there are barely any new feature work. I don't wan
- Interview prep for 2-3 yoe swe? I have worked in monolith and soa web development. My experience till now has been adding features to existing services. I have experience with legacy systems built on Java. I want to know how should I interview prep? Also, should I look for sde1 or sde 2 positions? #engineering #software #swe

Thanks New product manager #pm #productboard #productdesign #productmanager #facebook #facebookpm #google #googleproductanalyst #googlepm #ebay #ring
- Good E5/L5/64/senior SWE: consider Netflix? Netflix SWE here, previously at other FAANG companies. Last time I was switching jobs, I spent a long time on research. Netflix came up with some advantages (pay, freedom & responsibility culture), but with some possible drawbacks as well (high pressure, quick to fire, bad work life balance). I wan
- Please help refer me for APM and mid level PM jobs! Hi Blind folks! I’m a PM with about 3 YOE and currently leading product at a small ($4mil ARR) startup. I’m looking to leave the startup world and join a bigger/MAANG company and would greatly appreciate any referrals. In my free time, I’ve also built a software company that’s had products featured
- what do engineers do at big tech companies Just a general question from somebody outside the tech scene - what do engineers (YOU) do at established tech companies? *instagram - no changes to the front end, no new feature.. what do you do all day? *facebook - same old just a refreshed interface every long time *Netflix - mobile app’s remained
- KTLO team @ Expedia A friend is planning to join as SDE-2 in a tier 1 org at Expedia India but its a KTLO team. Any insights on if this is a good decision for learning opportunity and eventually they will be able to move to feature development, or should they try to get a team change / look at other companies instead?

- What are companies with good product culture? Looking for companies that have good product culture - product, design, and engineering working closely together on business objectives and not just feature factory. Similar to how Marty Cagan defines good product teams in Inspired. Some I've heard people talk about before but not sure these compa
- Which tech company offers mega backdoor Roth 401k? I come to realize how it can greatly impact retirement savings amount whether or not your 401k has support for mega backdoor Roth. More specifically, the plan needs to have the following feature: - After-tax contribution up to 57k per year. - In-service withdrawal to Roth IRA. Below is a list of c

- Life of Facebook PE I’d like to know how is life of Facebook Production engineering. From my research, it looks to be glorified SRE title. Currently, I’m software engineer which is why the move concerns me to even interview. 1. How is the average day? Do PE get to code some feature apart from tooling? 2. Is it easy
- vote SRE vs PE vs Performance Engineer? Hi I posted yesterday a thread where I was asking recommendations for engineering roles focused more on infra than pure feature development. I have 9 yoe and I also managed teams, so I feel I can do either IC or manager. My skills are around infrastructure stuff: Linux kernel, performance analysis
- Hard Netflix behavioral questions, how would you answer? Saw some really interesting behavior questions from a Netflix interview, would like to hear from some of the more experienced people here on how they would answer these questions. Q1: Teams are independent and known to disregard security in the interest of moving fast. Given that you have no author
- Netflix vs Google eng culture Two companies hugely different in many aspects. Looking for someone who worked at either to confirm/deny my assumptions: 1. At Netflix eng are mostly writing code. You won’t mentor other eng (everyone is senior), won’t work on product roadmap much, virtually zero chances of transfering to manageme
- 3 YoE SWE LFR Pretty burnt out of Amazon leaderships, and org has been in an absolute dumpster fire which burned out everyone. As a result, all but 1 of my beloved coworkers who all agreed to quit and are now job hunting together <3 Mainly backend engineer with a hint of frontend. Certainly not TT material, b
- Does FAANG companies encourage the use of vanilla programming vs framework for the Back End? Arguments: Spring Boot is heavy and cant be used to create video conference service due it only support Websocket with STOMP. I am not too sure if we use the Spring Framework. React Native is not good. I created a Voice app with Bluetooth feature. It still require me to write natively and the FPS r
- Worried about behavioral rounds !! Hey guys, I have upcoming interviews with Amazon, Square and maybe Netflix (in talks with recruiter)... I have around 6 years of experience and currently work as a backend engineer and use mostly NodeJS and AWS in my day to day tasks. I started out as a Data engineer and moved into backend developm
- Mobile@Netflix Please answer as many or as few of the questions as you want. Any insight helps. 1. How’s the mobile dev stack at Netflix?

- Not all startups are for entrepreneurs Some startups are looking for rank and file individual contributors (IC's), not entrepreneurs -- people who identify needs and take initiative to address them. Maybe the founders are entrepreneurs, but they hire a VP eng who hires a eng manager who doesn't have the entrepreneurial mindset when build
- How does top down date-driven culture at Amazon compares to others in FAANG? Amazon has an extremely date-obsessed culture when it comes to delivering software. There’s a strong tendency to plan projects based on estimates and then hold developers to those _estimated_ ETAs. The general Agile practice of revising estimates and updating projected ETAs based on knowledge gained
- Are other companies just as jargon heavy and acronym heavy as Amazon? I joined Amazon recently from a smaller software company. It was super overwhelming at first, but I now started to get the hang of all the acronyms and the internal systems inside Amazon. Even after this, it is still overwhelming with the number of campaigns going on internally. Every week, there ar
