I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X (Washington, DC) in June 2015
Interview
Phone interview with a recruiter and then a call with an Operations Manager in another city . Since this job was pretty much my resume I thought this would be a pretty straight forward process, WRONG... The woman that I spoke with asked me the top 10 most overly used questions that you can ask in an interview. There was little to no feedback given when answering questions and she sounded like she could really care less about the process. At this point I pretty much knew it was over before it even began.

Question 1
Name one time you failed and how you overcame that problem. What is your greatest achievement? Why do you want to work here? Tell me about yourself.... Just enter the rest of the cliche questions
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at X (Atlanta, GA) in June 2015
Interview
Twitter is so unprofessional and shady. I applied to this position 6 months ago. Had 2 great interviews with employees in similar positions. Each interview was 30 minutes long. I thought they went really well and sent thank you cards to both women. I was scheduled to have a 3rd video conference interview with a Workplace Manager in New York City. On the day of the interview they cancelled on me last minute to rescheduled for the following week. Never heard back from any recruiters. Yesterday 12/29/15 I was job searching on LinkedIn and saw the guy that was hired 6 months ago for the same position.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X (Boulder, CO) in Apr 2015
Interview
I had 10 interviews for this position. Had one on one phone calls with the Managers telling me they wanted me for the position and then no notification if I got the job or not. Had to pay for parking every time I went and even showed up for an interview that no one was aware about. One of the existing GNIP employees I interviewed with spoke poorly of people he didn't even know with Twitter and even told me it was a waste of time that he was interviewing me. The office employees felt I didn't fit in with Boulder's culture...guess what, it is Twitter and it has nothing to do with where you live, it's what you know. This whole process has left me frustrated because it was so extensive and then I was left with no clarification. Don't know if it is poor HR or the separation that had to do with Twitter acquiring GNIP.
