The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X in May 2015
Interview
Got in touch with Twitter people through personal connections. Had 1st phone interview with hiring manager. Was pretty straight forward, just asked about my background and experience and we went through the role and challenges.
We scheduled another interview with another Engineering Manager, he arrived late so we rescheduled. The second time, it was straight into system design, choice of database, modularity, scalability...

I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at X in Apr 2021
Interview
Had my first interview with the hiring manager. It was kinda nice to skip the initial HR call and go straight to the hiring manager.
I got a 50 minute overview of the position with no real talking on my side. I then was asked to rate myself in a few technical aspects on a scale of 1 to 10.
After this i was told that that if I passed this I would go to a technical interview.
Once i was done the interview i noticed the position got changed to a senior manager… then came the rejection.. It’s bad to change requirements and raise the position level after you already interviewed but i guess that’s how Twitter rolls
