Netflix Data Scientist Interview Preparation Guide - Mid Level (2-5 Years)

Netflix's Data Scientist interview process evaluates both technical expertise and business impact potential through a structured multi-round process spanning 4-6 weeks. The process includes an initial recruiter screening, a technical phone screen with live coding and statistical reasoning, and a day-long onsite with 4 separate interviews covering SQL/data manipulation, machine learning, experimental design, and cultural fit. Netflix involves 6-7 interviewers including data scientists, team managers, and product managers. As a mid-level candidate, you're expected to demonstrate proficiency in handling large-scale datasets, designing rigorous experiments, building production-ready ML models, and collaborating effectively across teams while owning projects end-to-end.[1][2]
