Screening call. Interviewer sounded bored and not interested, like just going through the motion. Never asked any follow up questions to my responses. The only question that she genuinely paid attention to was my current salary. She mentioned my working experience was too short. It was written in my CV, so why did you contact me?
The HR team ghosted on me after saying they would reach out again either way. I participated in more than 3 calls, so I feel at least a rejection call or email is warranted, especially after saying they would be in touch.

Question 1
What are some of the projects you're most proud to have worked on?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Gatos, CA) in Jan 2018
Interview
From a process standpoint, Netflix gets a 10/10. The coordination involved in setting up my in-person interview was very impressive. But before that, first I had to survive a 30 minute phone interview with the recruiter which led to a 30-45 minute interview with the hiring manager. Both of those were pretty standard, but definitely read up on the culture deck beforehand! Netflix is huge on making sure you are a good fit for them in that aspect as well, which is a refreshing change of pace.
The in-person interview was at their corporate HQ and involved a whirlwind of meeting different individuals. Most of the people I met with were very friendly and engaging, with the exception of the first person I interviewed with. That person acted like they would rather be out partying than going through the interview with me, but I kept smiling and giving the best answers I could.
After the interviews, I made sure to reach out to each one via email and thank them for their time. One of the people responded back and based on their response, strongly hinted that I got the job. I was excited, but I found out the following week they (supposedly) went with another candidate. Let's just say the recruiter was not being truthful with that response, as I found out shortly after. As someone that does not like being lied to, it really soured what was otherwise a very smooth interviewing experience.
