I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Twilio (Dallas, TX) in Nov 2020
Interview
The interview process was lengthy took over a month, HR was nice to keep updated on each and every step during the protest.
1. HR reached out via email through LinkedIn.
2. Applied on Twilio website on the job sent by HR
3. HR sent a hacker rank test containing 3 questions with medium difficulty, took 3 hours to complete.
4. HR get back to me the next day with a confirmation that all questions were correct and scheduled a virtual on-site.
5. Different HR person called in to walk through the Interview process saying that there are 5 open positions and they have 13 candidates to interview from.
6. There were 3 rounds each with 45 minutes, one with engineering Manager, 1 with Sr. Solution Architect and one with Lead Solution architect. All 3 interview were medium difficulty and have a mix of technical and behavioural questions. There were 45 minutes of project presentation where all 3 interviewers attended.
7. Post interview there was 15 minutes HR call to talk about interview experience and get feedback.
8 HR get back with feedback after 2 days that I did an awesome job and they are considering for next round, but she will confirm when next Friday they interview other candidates.
9. After a week HR get back and told that I am in shortlisted candidates and they want to go for Bar raiser interview which is the final interview.
10. Bar raiser interview was 45 minutes and the interviewer said that I did excellently.
11. After 2 days I reached out the HR and HR called back with an update and said that they have made the decision and going with other candidates, they have only 2 open positions at this time, and I was on 3rd listing in their ranking,
12. HR consolidated that if they will have any new position open in next month or so I will be in the priority list.
Overall it was a lengthy process which took 4 weeks of mental burdon with no outcome. I had to take one PTO from work, had to spend 3 hours in the night to complete hacker rank. Not sure how suddenly open position reduced to 2 from 5.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Twilio (Dublin, Dublin) in Dec 2022
Interview
The interview process included several stages, starting with an HR screening with a recruiter. This was followed by an interview with the hiring manager, which provided me with a deeper understanding of the role and the company culture. I was then given a technical test to showcase my skills and knowledge in the field. The next step was an interview with a Solutions Architect, which was a great opportunity to learn more about the team and the projects they are working on. The bar raiser interview provided a fresh perspective on the role and allowed me to demonstrate my ability to think critically and provide solutions to complex problems. Finally, I was asked to present a case study, which gave me the chance to showcase my problem-solving skills and my understanding of the company's products and services. Overall, the interview process was well-structured and gave me a clear understanding of the expectations and requirements for the role.
