Software Engineer Intern Interview Experience

My Netflix intern process was four rounds total if I count the OA: two CodeSignal assessments first, then a live coding round, then system design, and then a hiring manager round. I was nervous at every step because Netflix has such a high bar, but the people I met were really free and welcoming, so it felt less like an interview and more like working through things with engineers. The most unusual part to me was the AI-assisted assessment early on and then the longer team-matching wait before the hiring manager round. The earlier rounds usually took about a week to hear back from, but I waited around three weeks for the manager step. Once I got to the manager round, it honestly felt almost definite that I was very close, and I ended up getting the offer.
