I applied online. I interviewed at Twilio in Oct 2018
Interview
Applied back in October, heard back in around two weeks and was told to take a coding challenge. I finished this challenge and I got a reply roughly 2 months later - in December - saying they were still in the process of matching me with a team. A week later I got another email saying they still hadn't found a team and to fill out a Google form if I was still interested. And I did. Got a follow up early in February - but you guessed it- they were still trying to match me to a team. Finally, got a follow up few hours ago which stated that they would not be moving on with my application. I mean seriously did you have to keep applicants waiting for 5 months to get that information out? Twilio needs a thorough restructuring of its recruitment process.
I am sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with us. We are constantly looking at our processes and reevaluating best practices to ensure a challenging, but fair interview. We strive for everyone to have a positive experience and will use this as a learning opportunity.

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.

Very friendly talent acquisition staff member, was given plenty of info for technical test, including what concepts would be asked. Had to do a systems design interview also and was given enough to prep for that.
