The interview process was dragged out for a while (>1mo) due to organizational challenges. I was also surprised that i was never in contact with the hiring manager or the actual team I’d join during the interviews.
That said, the actual interviews with each employee were great. The people were pleasant and were open to sharing their experiences. I had a few other offers to choose from, but Twilio seemed like the best culture fit.

Algorithms (check leetcode filters and categories)
Had a phone screen with one of the recruiters at Twilio who asked me to take a coding challenge.
Same day, another recruiter reached out to me for the same position and asked for my availability for a chat with the Hiring Manager.
I provided my availability but never heard back.
After a week, I receive an email stating I was rejected.
The interview experience was shambolic.
Recruiters need to do a better job and be in sync.
Got an OA about 150 mins. 2nd round was a telephonic interview with the manager(more about behavioural, and past experience). Got a call for the onsite which was in total 6 round (45mins -1 hr long.). Had 5 round in one day because one the interviewers were sick. then last round (6th round next day). After in total 8 rounds. I was ghosted. I have emailed them multiple times. They don't even have the courtesy to reply.
It's been a month or more. If a candidate is selected for the final round then at least they desire a response.
