I was contacted by a Netflix recruiter via LinkedIn. Had several stages of interviews: one with the recruiter via phone, one with the would-be manager via phone, and one visit to their offices where I met with 4 people separately, the last of the four being with another recruiter via telepresence. I did my research, came prepared and felt I did well (although the last recruiter I met with already seemed to dislike me), but received a phone call the next day that they were looking for somebody with a different skill-set. I asked for more information and feedback, which the recruiter did not know and said she would get back to me, but never did. I have heard, however, that it must be a unanimous decision for them to hire somebody.
The regular employees I met with were pleasant (although one was so unprepared I felt like I was interviewing her), but I did not have a pleasant experience with the recruiters. There were too many involved in the process, yet they were completely disconnected and failed to treat candidates as human beings. Most of their questions felt like trick questions, which they were hoping I would fail and seemed completely disinterested, fake, and rude.
