12 interviews, yes. TWELVE, including one while I was on vacation, only to NOT hear back from them after the 12TH interview. I ended up writing to them 3 weeks later, and they replied saying oh sorry we found a better match. Completely disrespectful and zero process (I was never told how many interviews or steps there would be at any time).

There are several stages in the interview process, be prepared for anywhere from 5 to 10 interviews depending on the role you apply for. None of the interviews are easy, so make sure you are well prepared. Also, review the culture deck in advance to see if this is for you, since there will be culture-related questions.
Confirmed questions1 question
- How do you feel when you receive feedback? How do you deal with stressful situations? Share an example of a time you found efficiencies and drove a change in the workflow.

Three stages to the interview process: 1 x recruiter screen call - 30 mins, 1 x video interview call - 30 mins, then 6 x video interviews in succession with different team and department members, including another recruiter - 30 mins each with a break after the 4th. Some interviewers were better than others. One interviewer said that anyone who said anything bad about Netflix on Glassdoor was a problem themselves, which didn't seem realistic or reasonable. I also felt that the role seemed to contradict the culture memo as they mentioned it was very process-driven which kind of conflicted with the people over process part of the culture memo. If it takes 8 different people to make a decision on a hire, I'm not sure how "stunning" a place it can be. I came out of it feeling jaded and having read the recent article about 3 execs getting fired for complaining on Slack about senior managers, I feel it may be for the best that I don't work there.

- Experience and scenario based questions, I ended up bringing up the culture deck more than they did, although it was talked about.
