Netflix Software Engineer interview experience

After about 10 minutes of clarification, I was asked to write it in roughly 30 minutes.

The example prompt involved converting machine codes—like mapping something such as 123—into objects whose types came from corresponding enum values. I worked through the task, but I ended up failing the screen.

What I remember most clearly was how quickly it moved from questions to implementation, leaving little room for mistakes. The result was disappointing, and it made the process feel less forgiving than I expected.
