I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at X in Mar 2012
Interview
The interview consisted of two technical phone rounds. It wasn't a good experience from the start. I get it, they are Twitter and they pride themselves for being in a position they are right now. It doesn't mean they should disrespect an interviewee.
It took almost 6 weeks for the HR to schedule 2 rounds of phone interviews. Once in a while I had to check with the HR about the status of my application. It was frustrating.
Interview questions were fairly simple.
1. Reverse words in a given string.
2. Removing certain characters from an Array (don't remember the exact question)
First round was a good experience. He was respectful and asked standard interview questions. Second round was a disaster. Instead of evaluating my skill-set, he was focused on proving how good he is. Though the questions were simple, the attitude of the interviewer was really bad.
Overall a bad experience sparing that one phone round.
Phone screen, followed by two coding rounds, one system design, and one HM/behavioral round. Prepare with LeetCode tagged questions related to data structures, algorithms, and system design topics. Prepare for Behavioural in STAR method.
Went through two screenings and virtual onsite. Technical team members were friendly and great to speak with. Recruiters were pretty awful - the one that set up the virtual onsite gave everybody different zoom links and trying to find the correct room to join really cut into my interview time and made me stressed out during the VO. Main recruiter scheduled a phone call to discuss results after the VO for when it was past midnight in my timezone but never called or responded to my followup.
To the recruiter: you don't need to try to keep me warm by scheduling a phone call and ghosting me when I only asked you whats the decision timeline. If its rejection just email to let me know instead of wasting more of my time especially when its late in my timezone.
In general this would've been a positive experience if the recruiters weren't so bad.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X (London, England) in Apr 2025
