I interviewed with Netflix for a front-end JavaScript position a few years ago. I had two technical phone screens. One with the engineering manager and another with a senior engineer on their team.<p>Those went smoothly so I was asked to fly out to Los Gatos, CA.<p>On-site I was supposed to talk first with the senior engineer I had already interviewed with over the phone. He was out sick so they changed at the last minute.<p>In walks a guy in a fedora with full tattoo sleeves. He glances at my resume and laughs saying he hasn&#x27;t looked at it at all and really knows nothing about me.<p>He proceeds to ask me detailed questions about Node.js. I told him that I was very clear with them on the phone, that I&#x27;ve played around with Node, but I hadn&#x27;t used it to any serious degree (at that point in my career).<p>He continued with the Node.js questions for a while, some of which I knew because they were the same as the browser (console) some of which I wasn&#x27;t familiar with at the time (EventEmitter).<p>He then asked me some simple JavaScript, Backbone, CSS questions all of which were easy. He then asked me a C# question and I knew that too.<p>We shook hands and after he left, the engineering manager came back in and I was basically escorted out. He said I was good but that I wasn&#x27;t what they were looking for.<p>I&#x27;ve had some retarded interview experiences but that one took the cake.
