Interview
The interview process was very easy. I first applied online after hearing at the open position from a friend that had interviewed there the summer before. Afterwards, I went through a phone screen with a recruiter who asked a few top level questions and finally I headed into the office and went through a 3-4 person panel with the team.

Interview
Submitted my resume to a booth at a campus career fair. Implemented the program, but didn't meet their time requirements. They emailed a little later letting me know that I couldn't continue with the process. The coding challenges were pretty straight forward, typical questions you would find in most prep books like EPI or Cracking the Coding Interview.

i had a positive experience up until the very end. I repeatedly told the recruiters that I had a deadline and even pushed it back a week for Twitter. They repeatedly told me dates that they would get back to me and then ended up pushing them back. They didn't respect my deadlines at all or provide useful responses when I asked them exactly when I might be able to hear back. It took them 3 weeks to even convene a hiring committee to get around to LOOKING at my interview feedback. In the end it ended up with me waiting until the very last hour of my deadline until I gave up on Twitter and signed with my other offer. I was honestly so frustrated because I wanted to work for them so badly but they just failed to give me any sort of yes/no and kept pushing me back even though they very clearly knew I had a deadline that could not be pushed anymore.
