Hi All, Recently interviewed @Netflix for device reliability team. It was the second technical screening after I spoke to HM. I got the positive feedback from the interviewer as soon as it was finished (he mentioned, it’s a thumbs up from my side). I was happy and confident to move forward to the on-site. However, I got an email from the recruiter the very next day that they are not moving forward. It came as a surprise to me. Has anyone been in this situation before? Although, I had replied to the recruiter and mentioned the same but not sure if my profile can be reconsidered. #softwareengineer #netflixhiring #netflix
Interview is all luck anyways. In no way they deem your worth. Move on
A thumbs up from one doesn’t mean a thumbs up from all. That’s what you need.
Oh, absolutely. I made it to the panel, day one, went OK on three interviews; hiring manager, amazing dude tells me that he's got a good impression on me from the first two interviews, but he will collect the feedback from the third. Later that night calls me and tells me rather apologetically, that we will be canceling the final system design interview. No specific feedback, just a lot of encouragement to keep getting better and to try again next year. Curiously, I thought my third interview was better than the previous two. 😑 So, passing that encouragement forward, keep getting better, try again in a few months!
Better than me. Spent hours on take home assignment, positive feedback on HM round and 4 interviews in round one followed by 2 more interviews in round two. No offer in the end. Moved on since there are many companies and opportunities.
Had the same experience with Amazon 2 years ago! Second phone interview, interviewer asked some code and I forgot a built-in function and wrote it efficiently from scratch! Interviewer laughed and said you are OK to google, but looks like you know it pretty well! At the end, she again mentioned that you did the problem very well! (in fact I did!). Two days later and reject with no comment!

Always don’t bank on one interview or one company. Netflix interviews plenty of engineers. If someone accepted an offer for the position you applied they don’t move forward. Sad but true.
