I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Twilio (San Francisco, CA) in May 2021
Interview
Had 2 hours to solve a simple Hackerrank problem. I was done in about 20 minutes. I spent the rest of the time adding blows and whistles, unit tests, and made the whole thing parallel, etc.
Got a nearly instantaneous reply from Twilio (less than 1h after submission, in the evening), that they do not wish to proceed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Call a web API provided and display a subset of returned data. Data can be paginated and require multiple calls.
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.
