I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Initial phone screen with Recruiter, where we did a deep dive into my experience. Also talked about the role in more detail and what the team was looking for. Once i completed the initial phone screen, it followed by In-Person interview. I met with a mix of members from the Recruiting team and the team I would be supporting. Once the in-person interview was completed, feedback was sent to recruiting from the team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Successes that I have had in previous roles. What was I most challenged in my past roles? What am I looking for in this role? Why I would like to work at Twitter
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Interview with team members with team leader making the decision. My interviews were mainly on the phone but there was a video interview where I had to answer questions while being recorded by my laptop camera for the team to review later.
This space was new to me and I was impressed that they spoke to me about my skill set and didn't care that I had zero rolodex/contacts for them to start.

Question 1
Tell me about your style? Tell me about the tools you use? Tell me what you would do if you need to fill a role for a team/group you've never worked with?

Interview
One of the more excessive interviews I've had with a tech company. I went through 4 phone interviews and two onsites before it was all done. The second onsite visit was one of the worst interviews I've ever been through. 6 people for 30 minutes apiece, and they all asked nearly identical sets of questions, with maybe one or two variables each. By the end of the interview, I felt like I had developed a script through repetition. I definitely expected better from Twitter, and was not impressed.

Question 1
Nothing really stood out here, pretty 'run of the mill'.
