I'm an engineering manager at a Fortune 500 company. The dumbest engineer on our team left for Netflix. He got a pay raise too.

Our engineers are fucking morons. And this guy was the dumbest of the bunch. If you think Netflix hires top tier talent, you don't know Netflix.

I interviewed at Netflix a few years ago; with several of their engineers. One thing I cannot say is that they are morons.

their interview process is top notch too and while I was ultimately rejected, I used their format as the base template for how I started hiring at my company.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but you typically use your A players for hiring/interviews.

It can be both true that Netflix has God tier talent and a bunch of idiots. In fact, that's probably true of most places. I guess the ratio matters more.

what seemed good about it that makes different then any other hiring process that seems detached from the job?
