Twilio Senior Software Developer interview questions

5 rounds of interaction - easy DSA and very stupid system design question. I talked to 5 different people in 5 different locations (3 countries). The interviewers themselves were not at all experienced. They would have been my peers at best. They were themselves a bit intimated by me TBH. They are in India with a very low budget and they want candidates who memorize things. That said, all interviews were positive but I think they had a budget constraint and decided not to hire. There was a "bar raiser" which is like an HR interview here - the guy seemed to be in a very bad mood right from the start as if the India center is going to snatch their jobs away (he was somewhere in EU). Felt almost a bit racist the way he talked. Overall, they have assessed India to be very cheap. So I advise them to increase recalibrate their budget.

The interview started as a standard hackerRank type online test, which then led to a phone screen, and finally an 'in-person' (remote due to covid) 4 hour or so interview process. The interview cadence was very quick overall, which I appreciated, and I had some extra timeline constraints, which they worked to meet as much as possible, which I very much appreciated.
