## Shared interview experience

[Netflix · 6 months ago](https://www.aced.io/experiences/netflix-senior-software-engineer-interview-00080c) — **Software Engineer · Senior / L5**

> “The whole process was really fast for me, about three weeks end to end, and the ads org was super snappy about scheduling and responses. The recruiter reached out because my background lined up with what they want, and it felt obvious from the start that this team cares a lot more about ads domain fluency than generic big tech interview performance. I had a recruiter screen, a TTL cache phone screen, and then a five-round onsite with one coding round, two behavioral EM rounds, data modeling, and system design. The technicals were mostly straightforward if I could talk through tradeoffs, but the behaviorals were a much harder vibe check than I expected. I am still waiting to hear back, but the biggest thing I took away is that if I can speak confidently about how ads serving, demand, targeting, and capping actually work, they will forgive more than they would at other companies.”
