I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X in Mar 2017
Interview
HR asked for a phone call about two days after I applied. I have a call with HR, then the manager of the team, and then was invited to come on-site for an interview with the wider team. The phone call with the manager was bad, I was asked no questions and felt it went poorly, however I passed. The interview was well managed and structured, was interviewed by team members one after the other. The real let down was HR, complete lack of communication. Was told I'd hear the next day or the day after. I didn't so I followed up the week after, no response to that. I had a call 1.5 weeks after my interview, I missed it but replied to the email within 10 mins saying i was free. No call. I chased two times after that and nothing, until i sent a final email expressing it was clear I hadn't got the job but would like written confirmation. Received a call within 5 mins of that email to confirm I hadn't got it.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at X in Mar 2017
Interview
Recruiter reached out in early March after applying online in Fall and doing various resume drops.
All interviews were done over video call. Went through an initial 60-minute tech screening, then a "super-day" with 3 interviews. Did not get matched with this team. Spoke with two other teams, the 2nd team just a 30 minute call, then another team a 30 minute call + another 60 minute technical interview.
After a month and a half of interviewing, they informed me that there would be no spot for me at Twitter this summer. The recruiter was nice enough, but the long interview process left kind of a sour taste. Communication could have been better-- the way I understood it is that I had passed the technical part, but did not get host-matched in the end, which is really unfortunate. Most of the interviewers seemed enthusiastic and happy to have me on board as an intern, which confused me into I thinking I had a position.
All in all, I enjoyed speaking with Twitter, but am leaving this review because of the convoluted interview process.
