Software Engineer at Netflix

The interview process moved quickly, taking about three weeks from initial contact to the final onsite. The recruiter reached out due to a strong alignment between the candidate's background and the role's requirements, with a notable emphasis on domain-specific knowledge in advertising over general technical prowess. The interview loop included a recruiter screen, a technical phone screen, and a five-round onsite covering coding, behavioral assessments with an Engineering Manager, data modeling, and system design. While technical questions focused on discussing trade-offs, the behavioral interviews proved more challenging than anticipated.
