A Director personally reached out to me via email in hopes to learn more about myself, my work and if I would be interested in migrating from my current company to theirs, and why. It was Netflix, a house-hold name, so naturally, I entertained the idea, sitting through the 1+ hours phone screenings with not only himself, but with another UX Manager. After a vague, ambiguous job description of 'Lead Designer' was originally proposed to me, I still felt the need to at very least, explore their opportunity and see what could possibly come of the adventure. From there, it just went down hill. After being sent through an e-mail funnel of 3+ recruiters and 2 managers (as if they couldn't figure out who's job was to do what), they invited me in for an 'all-day' interview from 10am - 5pm. I was then told I would receive a confirmation email with the details of the day/specs as soon as they had them. Transportation was also still up in the air, considering I had no real information to work with (as I live in SF, and they are located in Los Gatos). Days went by, and the evening before the interview, a lengthy email filled with tables and over 8 different members I would be meeting with, was sent over to me. Not only was the title of the role quite different from the original conversation I already had ('Senior User Experience Designer'), but was followed by this statement: "*The interview is divided into two parts; based on the response from the Part 1 interviewers, you may or may not proceed with Part 2. Feedback will be given accordingly." Seriously? Quite the red flag right there. Who goes through the efforts to screen a candidate, seemingly review their work, and then ASK them to take time out of their existing schedule, just to still tell you that there is a very good chance you won't even get to round 2? I've actually had the pleasure of interviewing with Google, and even Adobe, and have never heard of such a tactic. I stressed my overall concerns to one of the recruiters, who then told another recruiter to follow up with me to tell me that the Director wanted to actually call and set my mind at ease. After an hour or so of questionable excuses why I should still interview and/or not to take their emails verbatim, I reluctantly decided to give it my best shot. He even proceeded to tell me that candidates are only asked to leave due to very extreme circumstances. Regardless, after 6 hours of sitting in a confined room, talking to countless cold, un-interested managers, a terrible airplane styled lunch, a 45 min demo collab session, and a 30 min presentation to 4+ members, the lead Director still had the audacity to cut me off mid-sentence, to tell me this wasn't going to work, and that I wasn't 'collaborative' enough, when that's all I had strived for, for the last 3.5 hours -- was listen, speak and execute my thoughts vs/with theirs. They asked me to 'take charge', 'be a leader' etc and then turned around and demanded the opposite. Not only was I insulted at a very high level, but it was one of the most unprofessional, conflicting interview experiences of my life. Even if I had been awarded the position, I would have declined due to the arrogance, misleading and poor excuse for culture and product process they represent. Overall a complete waste of time and effort.
