I interviewed at Netflix in 2015. Unlike every other company I interviewed at, they earmarked you for a team before you interviewed. I didn't know what teams were available; the recruiter earmarked me for the logged out experience.
I didn't get the job. The feedback? "You aced the technical stuff and everyone loved you, but we didn't sense your passion for the logged out experience."
- acjohnson55 2y agoWow. It's kind of hilarious to imagine that maybe they found someone who did.
- cageface 2y agoBecause if there's anything that excites deep, abiding passion it's certainly the logged out experience. Sounds like dialog from Silicon Valley.
- carom 2y agoFormer Googler. I did not make it past the Netflix recruiter phone screen because they had me read the culture memo before the first call and when asked what I thought about it I said "kind of culty but I can deal with it". Apparently that is not the correct answer.
- neilv 2y agoWhile reading some longish culture thing on Netflix hiring pages, it started out OK, but by the end... I'm skeptical of places that are self-congratulatory about their own supposed superiority. I expect those places to probably have dim-wittedness, mediocrity, and game-playing.
