I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at X in Dec 2014
Interview
The process was straightforward. I responded to an internship posting and also got an employee referral by an alumnus from my degree program. Twitter HR responded and over the course of two months scheduled 1 phone interview and 2 Bluejeans interviews with managers in the department. At the end I had a final Bluejeans interview with the head of the department. The mix of questions ranged from the hypothetical to the practical, and were geared towards the type of work I would be doing in that Twitter department.

Question 1
I've just been through the first step, coding challenge is not hard but should pay more attention on the details.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2014
Interview
First, I completed an online coding test. This was really simple and designed to weed out people who are unqualified to apply. Next, I had a phone interview and then an online collaborative coding interview. After this, I was notified that I would not receive an internship offer; this surprised me, as I had thought that I nailed the question. I may have been too late in the process (mid December) so apply early!
