Can Netflix recruiters, manager or engineers share some insights on the netflix hiring process? What sort of interviews, how many rounds? coding, system design or behavorial? This is for senior ICs and anyways I heard Netflix hires only Senior and upwards. Thanks!
What team are you interviewing with?
Depends on team. Generally speaking, it's usually two rounds for ICs. Each round is typically 3-4 interviews with focus on system design, algo/problem solving with coding (could be take home, whiteboard), Netflix culture and behavioral. Please keep in mind this is all subject to the hiring team, but is loosely followed. As interviews/rounds progress you will be given feedback and/or determine not to continue progressing forward in the process if deemed not a good fit. To reiterate it's very team specific and this is broad characterization of what to expect. Your recruiter should be able to give you more specific insight on what to expect.
Thanks for the sharing.
Here to reiterate that it's team specific.
Can’t say this loudly enough. Notice the different people saying the same thing. It’s not company koolaid it’s true. Teams are very autonomous and can generally do what they want when it comes to finding a good fit for how they work.
Does Netflix ask Leetcode in any of the interviews?
It’s team specific but generally no as leetcode level gotcha questions might show that you studied and recognize a problem from seeing it a lot but rarely shows how you would solve an actual problem or work with a team to move a product forward.
Thanks. That’s what I hoped. I saw a couple of people saying that they got asked Leetcode hard, which I thought was very unlike Netflix.
Leetcode type is not uncommon at all. But probably won't get anything straight out of leetcode. It's team specific, but if you're interviewing for one of the platform teams you better know your algorithms/DS.
Oh and concurrency.
Algos, DS, and concurrency is common for any backend development team.
How about system design type questions? Thanks guys for all the comments.
@OP, How was ur interview with Netflix?
My wife has a technical interview for a data analytics role coming up soon at Netflix. Can anyone please help provide tips for the technical screen and also for the hiring manager conversation
Hey I wanted to check if you can share feedback from the interview
Everything is super team specific. It's a very hit or miss process.
Did you interview with Netflix?
They are 100% correct. Team specific. You interview for the actual role and team more so than the company if that makes sense.
