I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2019
Interview
I was reached out to by Netflix about a year after I applied. They set up a phone call that took about 45 minutes, and (spoiler alert) she grilled me on their culture memo. The recruiter I talked to seemed really enthusiastic about getting to know me, and I enjoyed that the process was more conversational than just answering questions. But it was an intense conversation -- the recruiter kept digging and digging and asking more pointed questions. At one point, she asked me if I felt comfortable being vulnerable -- harkening back to their point in the culture memo. So at the end I just felt emotionally drained. Take that as you will.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was something that stood out to you in the culture memo?
Why do you want to work at Netflix?
What's something that only you can bring to the table that other candidates can't?
The interview process was long. I met with folks individually, 5 in total, which made the process drag due to fluctuating schedules. After final interview, result was quick. ~ 2 days.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Netflix (Seoul) in Sep 2024
Interview
Liked me at my first interview but didn't give any follow up progress for 2 months. Told me to wait until assigned manager could schedule 2nd interview but never did, and got denial.
A recruiter emailed me to schedule a 30 minute phone call. During the call, she seemed disinterested and cold. She interrupted me several times to say I sounded "vague" (had she not interpreted me I could have provided more detail). It was all very strange. It almost seemed as if she had already found other candidates to move on to the next round, and speaking with me was just a formality.
