I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Twilio
Interview
Twilio has a very specific interview process and provides you with cheat sheets throughout your engagement, including an interview preparation meeting. The process can be lengthy and repetitive and has some steps that feel unnecessary.
BEWARE of a few issues:
- The interview panels can lack diversity and not provide you with the experience to understand the company and team to the level they are trying to understand you. My experience showed the company is struggling with diversity and equity from my aforementioned statement and the provided feedback for not receiving the job was due to not having one small area of focus.
- My Talent Partner was very unprofessional. They were late to every single call by 5-10 minutes. During one call, the person was clearly getting dressed on the live Zoom (straightening a shirt and buttoning it up by several buttons while speaking to me). During my final call the same talent partner told me it's their least favorite part of the job to turn down applicants and that they felt bad, which put me in a position to coddle the person. It was very unprofessional and not the experience someone should go through for such a large and experienced company.
