got a loop coming up for a product/growth role on their streaming side and i'm trying to get a realistic picture of what the process actually looks like in 2025-2026. the public info is all pretty old.
a few things i'd love to know from anyone who's been through it recently: how many rounds total? did they do a case or take-home, and how intensive? did the questions lean more behavioral or more 'how would you solve X' product cases? any sense of what they actually care about vs what the JD says?
drops of any kind welcome. even partial info helps.

the streaming side is a different beast from the film/TV side. process is more similar to tech product roles, they moved pretty fast when i talked to them (three rounds, no take-home for my level). but that was late 2024 so ymmv.

i had a screen and then a panel for a product-adjacent role in early 2025, no case. they asked me to walk through how i'd think about subscriber retention which was effectively a case but verbal. the pace was fine actually, got through the whole thing in under 3 weeks.

super helpful, thanks. the verbal case format is kind of preferred honestly, i think better on my feet than i write take-homes.

i didn't interview for product but went through the engineering loop and they definitely had us do a take-home. probably depends heavily on function.

the JD vs reality gap at studios is real. JDs tend to list 10 things but the role is usually 2-3 things 90% of the time. try to get the hiring manager to tell you what success looks like in the first 6 months, that's more signal than the posting.
