• First, I had a call with a recruiter who went over the culture memo. He particularly wanted to ensure I had read the "Dream Team" section. It's public if you're curious.

• Next, I had a call with the hiring manager. She asked variations of the same question regarding why I wanted to work at Netflix, seemingly wanting me to strongly articulate my motivation. She also asked technical questions, such as how I test the performance of my services. I explained that we have a performance engineering team which tests every release and provides me with the results, but she was critical of me not performing performance tests myself.

• Finally, I received an email from the recruiter stating they were not moving forward in the interview process.

How do you test the performance of your services?
