What to Expect in the Netflix SWE Interview Loop

Netfix interview loops can be insanely different team to team, since every team and Hiring Manager comes up with their own loop. So you basically need to prepare for everything.

  1. 1. Resume Screen

    Netflix evaluates senior technical experience and impact. No junior roles.

  2. 2. Recruiter Phone Screen

    Discuss background, technical depth, and culture fit (context not control).

  3. 3. Technical Phone Screen

    Usually a mismash of everything, but weighted on whichever topic the HM feels they need to optimize for the most, to filter in relevant candidates for the onsite. So expect a mix of coding and architecture discussion / problem solving. Will usually be domain specific though. And might even be 2 rounds depending on the team. If it's broken into 2 rounds, one usually involves the HM and has behavioral elements.

  4. 4. Onsite Loop

    4-5 interviews covering advanced coding (not traditional LC), system design/architecture, and culture fit. Please please please be extremely familiar with the Netflix Culture Memo, and practice elegantly weaving in elements into your stories.

The coach was very knowledgeable and asked me relevant questions for the role I was interviewing for. The coach gave me very generous advice on how to perform in an interview, where to spend my time, and what to focus on. The coach pointed out the areas that I could improve on, which is the most valuable feedback I could have gotten. @coach - Thank you for helping me with a mock interview and providing me pointers and feedback during the process.

Doing mock interviewers with real professional engineers seems like a no brainer for targeted interview prep. And prepfully has the advantage over other platforms of being able to read bios of the coach, beyond just their company name, which I appreciated.

Thank you for the feedback and the tips for my interview. I will look at basic consistent hashing and data replication for tomorrow. Thank you for also the general tips of not always agreeing with the interviewer and also leading the system design interview
