Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Los Gatos, California
Process
A recruiter called me and set up my telephonic interview. It was pretty straightforward, and I was then called for an onsite interview.
The interview went well, and the response I got from the team suggested they liked me, but I didn't receive an offer.
Later, I learned the position had been filled by an internal candidate even before my interview.

Netflix Work Experiences
- 5.0Netflix is true to its advertised culture of freedom and responsibilitySenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeLos Gatos, California, United StatesMarch 22, 2009Pros: Lack of politics, hard problems to tackle, extremely bright colleagues, lack of bureaucracy, "context, not control" style of management, no tracking of hours or time off, flexible work options. Netflix is extremely successful as a company, and it's a fun business to be in and win at.Cons: There is always more to do than people to do the work, but I've never had a job where this wasn't the case. Also, it's sometimes hard to find the boundaries between family and work life because there is no tracking of work hours. Many of the folks in my area are highly self-motivated, which fosters a self-imposed culture of working nights and weekends.
