I applied online. I interviewed at Netflix (Amsterdam) in Feb 2019
Interview
A Sr Recruiter contacted me and we set a video interview (Google Hangout) scheduled for Monday morning. I spent the whole weekend to prepare it and managed to take a day off although deadlines were waiting at work and my manager didn't really like me taking leave during high season.
1 minute before the video interview I got an email from that recruiter saying that his flight delayed and so on so that we need to reschedule the interview, and I couldn't do it using the same URL he sent me previously and asked for the new one, he said something wrong with the system so I had to wait. I headed to the office right away, didn't want to lose my job for something uncertain like this.
The link didn't work, I couldn't reschedule it, informed the recruiter. He said that the position was on hold due to reorganization and he would back to me once they reopen it.
A few weeks passed, I saw the same job ads on LinkedIn and reached out to the recruiter again. Predictably, no response at all. I was totally ghosted!
If they treat a candidate disrespectful like that, it must be worse when you become an employee.
Now I know why Netflix rating here (Glassdoor) is so low in spite of the fun young energetic brand with an awesome corporate culture that they try to show. The image they try to create is totally not translated to the day to day work!

Other Human Resources interview reviews for Netflix
The interview process was intense, and I met many thoughtful and kind people along the way.
After reaching the final round, I didn’t receive the outcome I hoped for. It was disappointing not to move forward, especially after investing nearly four months in interviews while balancing a full-time job. I had hoped for clearer feedback about why I wasn’t selected and some support in exploring other roles within Netflix. After all that time and effort, I only received one brief follow-up conversation with a recruiter, which left me with more questions than answers.
Given my background, I truly felt I could have been a strong cultural fit, and I was hoping the long process might open the door to other opportunities. Feeling let down doesn’t quite capture it.

Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to deliver feedback to a tough critic
It was a first round with a senior recruiter, with general questions in English and Spanish about experience, soft and hard skills, motivation for this specific job.
Very positive experience during the interview, however, she never got back to me neither has she answered my follow-up email, even though she told me during the interview my profile was perfectly aligned with the position.
