Los Gatos, CAPosted Mar 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I started with a recruiter reaching out and then moved into multiple phone screens before I got invited to an onsite.

At the onsite, I ended up doing a full loop in a way that balanced technical and leadership conversations. The technical interviews felt like practical, free-flowing discussions that mapped to what software engineers actually do day to day, with a lot of distributed systems design, architecture, and data modeling, plus at least one round that leaned into data structures and algorithms.

After the technical part, I was pulled into leadership discussions centered on Netflix culture. I remember having a candid conversation about work-life expectations: I said I prefer keeping personal time
