Two recruiter screens, followed by an onsite meeting with the hiring managers + a meeting with my recruiter. I then had a take home project and a virtual panel interview with 4 VCs. Got my offer the next business day.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Netflix (Amsterdam) in Apr 2019
Interview
The interview wasn't particularly difficult: conversational, and focused on the company's culture. The only thing that I find excruciating is how long it lasted (6 months) and the absolute lack of clarity when it came to the desire (or not to hire me).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Read the culture deck: all the interviews (11 in total!) had the same common denominator and it was about the Netflix Culture. I was asked if I would feel comfortable speaking up in rooms or what part of the culture I felt I would struggle with and why.
Long and energy draining. I had 6 interview and a coverage assignment with no job offer. Overall, too damn long of a process for an assistant job that I didn't get an offer for.
HR screen, talk to current assistant, talk to other current assistant about to be promoted, coverage assignment (all remote) and then in-person interviews with VP and the execs. Ended up waiting several weeks and chasing down HR and people in the department before getting a call that I was not chosen.

Question 1
HR gives you resources about the company’s ethos and you need to memorize them because they’ll quiz you.
