I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2020
Interview
After being contacted by a recruiter, was set up with a 30 minute phone screen with the hiring manager. He wasn't impressed by my professional experience and after a single question ended the interview.

Interview
How recruiters interact with you tell a great deal about the culture of the company, and because of the unprofessional behaviors of a recruiter I didn't even apply in the end. A recruiter from Twitter reached out to me for an introductory chat for 15 mins. They cancelled in the last minute to reschedule, which can happen. When trying to reschedule, their tone was impolite and demanding which led me to not want to even have the 15 min chat with them. I emailed and canceled politely. They didn't even have the courtesy to respond, and then I knew I made the right choice not wasting my time. Just imagine how the rest of the interviews would go (or even the work life in Twitter would be) when their recruiter who reaches out to you treats you like you owe them something. Data scientists have a lot of options to choose from, and Twitter showed they are not a good one even before speaking with them.

Interview
Networking session then recruiter calls and then a technical interview. After this stage they fly you out to SF to meet some of the team for in-person interview. That stage is near the end. In general very good process if you go through a recruitment event which they host frequently
