I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Twilio (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2017
Interview
Applied online then got application flagged for referral by an existing employee which green-lighted my resume through the hiring process. Initially had a phone screen with an engineer on the team I applied for with live coding through CoderPad. Second round was two back-to-back phone screens, one with the manager and one with engineering manager. One was CoderPad and the other was technical discussion of resume. Last round was onsite at the HQ with more members of the team.

Question 1
Design multi-tenant database schema for shopping system with three distinct stores.
I was given a take-home coding exercise, which was quite a bit more hefty than most others I've had. Sent a link to the public repo a few days later. The following week, the recruiter asked me to send the link I already sent. When I followed up the next week, I found that the recruiter's email bounced - they were no longer with the company. So I then emailed a higher-up, who passed me along to another recruiter, who I then sent my exercise to yet again. A rejection followed soon after with no feedback.
Phone screen and onsite with a few leetcode and system design questions. The overall process was professional and the recruiters did a good job of keeping me up to date.
