Process
I had a phone screen and an onsite interview.
The onsite interview was with five engineers and 1 HR representative. The interview was not too technical, but I was rusty. It was my first interview in a while.
Expect questions on the basics of software development: coding, algorithms, data structures, etc.
The interviewers were polite, professional, and cordial.
Do read the Netflix culture PowerPoint slides, which are on the internet.
Questions
One of the engineers described the inner workings of a product and asked some detailed questions.
