Netflix Ads onsite, rejected on scope

Recruiter reached out on LinkedIn for Ads, generalist req.

Phone screen: TTL cache, print value unless printed in last N seconds. Persistence follow up if the server crashes.

VO, 4 rounds: Coding: topo sort with completion times, cycle handling SD: frequency capping, rolling window Data model: DSP order, multiple campaigns, direct sold not open auction BQ x2: pick a culture value (went with candor), recent feedback given

3 days of silence after onsite, then the rejection. HM said scope didn't match level, mentioned re routing to team match, never happened.

Bar felt absurdly high for problems that were only LC medium. Ghosted for about a week before the actual email came.

curious how long the data model round felt, seems like the differentiator

topo sort with completion times is rough under time pressure ngl

ghosting for a week after already getting the verbal seems brutal
