Interview
Pretty standard Recruiter call than phone interview .
I usually do not write reviews. I feel this might help someone who comes well prepared and lot of hopes. I have had interviews with other companies like google no matter how bad i did but they treated me well . Now about twitter telephonic interview He arrived 5 min late there was no mention of time. well thats ok. We had initial conversation than followed by coding challenge. I was pretty confident about results . He caught minor bug when i was walking through code(dry running my code) didn't even run my code. That set him off . Just wanted tell we are human we make minor mistakes or sometime bigger . Does not mean you should not respect other person if he/she does not meet your criteria. He changed his tone. I fell like he rejected me right there even before going down for rest of the problem. Problem was really easy i didn't feel like i was struggling . I made sure even problem was easy i should not sound arrogant. This might be just another day of interview for interviewer but for us one time opportunity lot of us take this very seriously. Please try to be a human first. I totally understand you might be having bad day you should have said no this interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I do not feel like sharing question . Just think of any Easy/medium type leetcode question.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Talk with recruiter -> hiring manager -> first technical phone interview
The question was pretty simple, implement two functions read() write() and optimize for reading.
Involves some nested hashmaps (at least that's the solution I came up with).
The interviewer asked some follow up questions on what might happen if the write is massive so we cannot store the writes in some variable in memory.
Interviewer seems satisfied with all of my implementations & answers since each time I gave an answer, I make sure that the interviewer understands and agrees with the approach.
We ended up running out of questions to ask while there are still 15 minutes left. So I asked some random questions on twitter tech stack.
Got a rejection the next morning - really confused, recruiter would not give feedbacks. Easy interview overall, really curious what happened.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
I was contacted by one of their recruiters. The first stage of the interview consisted of some technical questions as well as a live coding test. The questions were very easy and pretty standard.
After not hearing back from them for a week, I had to chase their recruiter which replied back after couple of days saying the interview was good but didn't meet their standards, despite answering all their questions correctly - he promised to send detailed feedback later which never happened.
Overall it left a very bad impression and definitely a reason not to recommend working there to anyone.
