I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Gatos, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
They reached out to me via email and a phone screen followed soon after. In a few weeks they flew me out there for an onsite interview. The day was very well presented and coordinated. I felt very welcomed and accommodated.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2020
Interview
Very quick for me.
Started with a long conversation with a recruiter.
Followed by a long behavioral interview with a UI manager.
Then the take home test
Then the onsite virtual (1 coding, 1 take home test review, 2 behavioral)
I found the interviews quite easy because I did prepare. I did not do any coding practice and I spent a lot of time on javascript.info to help me recall all my JS fundamentals and I'd advice anyone to do so as well because it was easy BECAUSE I refreshed on those.
Overall I liked the process. After the onsite, the UI manager with whom I developed a really great relationship with, scheduled a call with me to give me a 1h feedback rundown (I personally would have liked my recruiter to give me the not so great news because I had my hopes up lol) but basically they found my solution to be very encapsulated and hard to understand and they said I need some experience with bigger companies.
I don't take it as a failure because really I am super confident now that I can solve anything coming my way and the right company for me will hire me. But I gained so much from the behavioral conversations. Those were a no brainer. STUDY THE CULTURE MEMO (I can't stress this enough) and be easy. They are not there to trick you or anything like that.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
A lot of behavioral questions.
Study the culture memo.
Take notes if necessary and expand on that in your own words and be ready to have a thorough convo about it. I spent about 30-45min more each time because of it. It was interesting
