I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Gatos, CA) in Jun 2013
Interview
I submitted by application and got a phone call right away. I spoke with and emailed with 2 recruiters before they set up an Skype call with the hiring manager. After speaking with him, I had another Skype conference with someone else in that department. The recruiters had good things to say, so they asked me to come in for an onsite interview.
The headquarters is really nice; large buildings, very modern clean and trendy.
When I went in for the interview, I met with 5 different people that all work within the Marketing/PR department. I was there for about 3 hours. I got great feedback from everyone, so I was very excited.
I heard back from one of the recruiters and she set up another call with an HR Manager in a remote office. I spoke with her and we discussed the Netflix culture, she asked if I had questions. We went over benefits, their PTO policy, etc. I got a call from the recruiter saying they were getting ready to take the next steps and they would get back to me shortly. I thought I was in. Two weeks.passed and I hadn't heard from anyone. I reached out to the recruiters, but didn't get a response. On a third week, I got a call from an apologetic recruiter, a lot of the team had been traveling and it was difficult for them to make the decision, but they went with a different candidate.
Very chill and easy. It was a polite chat about the job and the culture at netflix, especially given that the DC office is a bit newer. Very much just a conversation generally rather than pointed interview!

Friendly, Welcoming, and Streamlined Process
Everyone I interacted with at Netflix was incredibly friendly, approachable, and professional. From the start, the process was made as smooth and stress-free as possible, with clear communication and genuine support at every step. It felt collaborative rather than intimidating, and I appreciated the transparency and respect shown throughout. Overall, it was a very positive experience that reflects the company’s strong culture and values.
Talked to the recruiter and then hiring manager within HR. Was then asked to submit script coverage. Then met with direct supervisor as well as another high up exec in the department. Overall experience took around one month.
