I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Twilio in Apr 2022
Interview
1. Interview with recruiter;
2. Hackerrank challenge;
3. Call with senior talent manager;
[decided to stop here]
4. 5 interviews 3 of them technical (design, coding, general Q&A)
The call with the talent manager left me very unimpressed (she did not know where I was based, laughed at the salary expectations but refused to give any ranges because it is proprietary info (?? this will be mandatory within the EU soon)), just seemed largely disinterested. Somehow the feel (and apparently initially discussed salary range) was wrong and decided to not pursue this further.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
3 Hackerrank questions about getting data from an api, SQL one and a small algorithm question.
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.

Very friendly talent acquisition staff member, was given plenty of info for technical test, including what concepts would be asked. Had to do a systems design interview also and was given enough to prep for that.
