Question 1
Tell me about yourself and your previous experience
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Netflix (New York, NY) in Jul 2019
Interview
Was contacted by a senior member from the TA team and scheduled a phone interview that went really well. I informed them i was going on vacation for 4 weeks so they stated they will drop an email to agree on a face to face interview when i come back from vacation, this email was never sent. After my vacation i emailed the person who contacted me, and the reply was to schedule an interview with someone junior, which i found very strange considering that I already passed the interview with the senior person.
This junior recruiter had no idea how to conduct a phone interview, she was clearly too inexperienced and had some pre-set answers thay she wanted to hear. I received a regret letter the following day with no proper feedback.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Netflix (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
I was contacted by someone via LinkedIn who was interested in speaking with me. We set up a time to speak and had a brief 30 minute conversation in which she explained the role to me and allowed me to ask her questions. I was told I'd be given an update in the next business day. Four days later - still hadn't heard anything. I was finally sent a generic email stating that my background wasn't what the hiring team was looking for.
Okay. Then why would you have reached out to me in the first place? I do recruiting myself - when I reach out to a passive candidate, you're implicitly communicating that you're interested in that candidate; that there's been some type of correspondence with your hiring managers that has led you to believe that this candidate would be attractive to them. The only times I've outright rejected a candidate after reaching out to them myself have been the times in which the candidate absolutely bombed their call with me. I am inclined to argue that this was not the case, as 80% of the call consisted of question exchanging and logistical job details.
