Anyone know why Netflix doesn’t respond to their job site? I applied to several positions where I’m an exact match, with a decade of VFX and another decade of internet company experience in LA. Never heard a single word in response from them, for years. Reqs stay open a long time as well. What are they doing? Are they ghost jobs? They don’t even respond with a “no” form letter. (Lately their site is broken at the verify email stage, pin post returns 403.)

Simply they don't bother taking down the advertisement once hired.

It's the lowest priority of job for the hiring team and the role is normally forgotten about once the hire has been onboarded.

I worked for an animation studio and they didn't take down roles.

Companies don't take down listings for many reasons: make it look like they have more money to expand than they actually have, slow down the job seeker so their competition moves just slightly slower, there's no benefit in taking it down, if someone is actually reading the applications maybe an exceptional applicant will come that fits for another role in the company, drive up costs for the competition (hey boss everyone is hiring for my role so give me a raise), etc. [edit: gram mer and spolling]

This sounds likely so thanks. However some of my best matched positions I've found on the site after a day or two after posting, as I check it regularly.
