I interviewed for a role at Twitter and it was a terrible experience. The hiring manager was completely uninterested in my qualifications or experience, and instead asked me a series of 'Google-style' questions like how many golf balls fit in a bathtub. Whenever I tried to answer, he would interrupt me, belittle my response, and explain how his approach was better. It was incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful. I felt like he was more interested in proving how smart he was than in finding the right candidate for the job. I would not recommend applying for a role at Twitter if you're looking for a fair and respectful hiring process.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2018
Interview
The twitter interview process is extremely organized. If you get an on-site, you’re treated like a tweety bird until the end. They were clear and transparent throughout the entire process. Will try again in the future. The office was incredible .

Question 1

straightforward, 3 interviews, situational and behavioral and asked about past experience and learnings from older companies. i had a pleasent experience and spoke to folks from both my team and sf hq
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at X
Interview
Lots of waiting for interview scheduling. Interviewed with 5 different individuals, and then a final one was added on. It took about 2.5 months to go through all the rounds only to be told by the recruiter (via standard email) that I was not moving forward.
