Due to my background, the hiring manager reached out to me to discuss the role. There was great synergy between my skill set, the position, Netflix's culture, the roadmap, and many other aspects of the position.

Within a couple of days, I was contacted by a recruiter who was very friendly and professional. We worked out a time for me to have a phone interview with the technical recruiter. The feedback I received was positive following this interview.

Within a couple of days, the recruiter reached out again, and we arranged a peer interview. When the peer interview was cut short, the peer agreed to continue our conversation on the weekend.

Upon completing this interview, there was a long period before I heard anything back. I later found out that this was due to the Netflix team having many meetings about my skill set and how it lined up with the role and what was needed from day one.

I was not offered the position. The hiring manager offered to keep me in mind if he became aware of any other openings that I would be a match for and offered to make any introductions he could.

Overall, this was a very positive interview process that was conducted in a professional and respectful manner. I would recommend Netflix to any of my professional and personal contacts.
