Instead of making me repeat my resume, the recruiter told me she had already read it and asked what wasn't on the page, which let me position my mix of PM and media planning experience in a much more human way. After that I went through a hiring manager round, a product sense interview, two separate product execution interviews, then a final cross-functional interview and another conversation with the hiring manager. The process felt very thorough for a senior PM role, and the big themes were judgment, execution, segmentation, diagnosis, and how I work with engineering. The strongest signal I got was that they cared a lot about empathy and authenticity, especially because the product was for media planners and they seemed to value people who could really understand that user. ### [Netflix · 2 years ago](https://www.aced.io/experiences/netflix-senior-software-engineer-interview-de66d8) **Role:** Software Engineer · Senior / L5 > I interviewed for a senior full-stack role in Seattle, and the whole process felt way more specialized than most big-company interview loops I’ve been through. By the time I got into the loop, it felt like they'd already assumed I could code, so the real test was whether my background matched the team’s exact domain and whether I aligned with the culture memo. The technical rounds were practical React exercises tied closely to internal tooling, not DS&A problems, and the system design round was surprisingly open-ended and conversational with no architecture diagramming at all. The behavioral side was much heavier than usual, and multiple interviewers repeated the same disagreement or feedback themes to see if I had more than one canned example. Overall, it felt less like a generic company process and more like a team trying to hire someone who had basically already done their job before. ## Community answers No answers have been contributed by the community yet.
