Netflix Software Engineer interview experience

Posted Sep 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My phone screen for an L4 role came across as a medium coding exercise where I designed a feature based on requirements, using a class structure with multiple functions.

The setup pushed me to think in code structure rather than only solving a single isolated algorithm prompt.

After the phone screen, I moved on to onsite interviews. The onsite format included two coding rounds, one problem-solving round, and two behavioral interviews, with the recruiter explicitly tying the sequence together. Overall, the experience matched the idea of an OOD-style practical coding format for the initial screen.

I didn’t end up getting the offer, but the process itself felt coherent in how it tested application of requirements into code structure.
