I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Twilio in Jan 2021
Interview
There are several stages but the responses are quick and the entire process can get you 2 or 3 weeks.
First interview was with the recruiter, talk about your expectations, why you want to change, etc ... Then, they will send you an OA. After that, there's an interview with the Team Manager and talk about some programming fundamentals and team work. Then you will have 4 interviews with different team members, including pair programming (again, fundamentals of js, async, architecture, etc). Last one is about Twilio's Magic and they will send you details to help you prepare it.
All of the interviewers were nice and make you feel like you belong there. But also, interviews can be hard just to get the best and worst of you, so be prepared.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Js fundamentals, architecture, team work experience.
I was given a take-home coding exercise, which was quite a bit more hefty than most others I've had. Sent a link to the public repo a few days later. The following week, the recruiter asked me to send the link I already sent. When I followed up the next week, I found that the recruiter's email bounced - they were no longer with the company. So I then emailed a higher-up, who passed me along to another recruiter, who I then sent my exercise to yet again. A rejection followed soon after with no feedback.
Phone screen and onsite with a few leetcode and system design questions. The overall process was professional and the recruiters did a good job of keeping me up to date.
