Netflix UI Software Engineer Interview Experience
Netflix · Mid level · Software Engineer
Interview process
The process was pretty straightforward. However, the technical round was a frontend system design instead of a live coding round, which I was promised. I was caught off guard, but it worked out. For the finals, there were total of 5 rounds, 2 cultural and 3 technical. Two coding rounds among the technical rounds and an opinionated round where you discuss your opinions on different parts of engineering decisions, such as styling, state management, and so on.

Tips from the candidate
If you had real production work experience, you should be good. Prepare some "personal" opinions rather than how your old company does things.
Company culture
The whole company lives by the culture deck. Also, what you experience depends heavily by the team so it is also pure luck.
