Colloquio
I really thought the interview went well. Or so I thought. The director was impressed so was the manager and recruiter. Netflix is expanding into other markets and they like the experiences I have.
The position is with the analytics dept, which is more horizontal than vertical. Would have loved to work in a dept like that.
I have a lot of experiences with rec eng/sys and I seriously thought that I had a chance. Come to think of it, I feel that they are prying for what I do in my current company, ie methods, algorithms etc.
Ideas are dime and a dozen. Good thing is I have more in the bag.
Domande di colloquio [2]
Domanda 1
Elaborate on the rec eng you developed for your company.
After a recruiter screen and technical/manager interview, candidates face two on-site rounds. These assess technical skills and "Dream Team" fitness. Final hiring decisions rest with the hiring manager and require unanimous team approval.

Colloquio
DROPPED BY TEXT MESSAGE. I went through seven rounds of interviews at Netflix, receiving positive feedback throughout. The process felt professional until the very end. I was told I advanced to the final stage, and a call was scheduled. Ten minutes before that final call, I received a text message saying it had to be rescheduled. Three days later, HR followed up — again by text message — to tell me the position had already been filled and I would not move forward.
I never received an official email confirming this, despite asking for one. The explanation given was that “perhaps the server failed.” To this day, all communication regarding my rejection has only been by text message.
I still believe Netflix is an outstanding company, but this experience raised serious concerns about candidate communication and process consistency. Preparing for a final interview only to be dropped informally via text message (without having that call) was one of the most disappointing interview experiences I’ve had in 10+ years.
