I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Twilio (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2016
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me. I worked with HR to set up a phone screen. After the phone screen, I completed a writing a sample. Then there were a series of interviews with different team members. I was not able to come in to their offices for the later round interviews, so I used Skype.
Although I did not get the job, I found the process very pleasant. If my interviews were any indication, Twilio seems like a fine place to work.

Question 1
What do you like about Twilio? Can you show me some samples of your work? Why did you become a writer?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Twilio
Interview
Disappointing and long process overall. The initial recruiter conversation felt very rushed and I didn't have time for questions at the end. I was supposed to meet with a hiring manager that apparently resigned before my interview. Towards the end of the process, I was told multiple times that I'm the strongest candidate for the role. I was even asked about a start date that worked for me. Unfortunately, I got a call saying they went with another candidate because I didn't have enough experience. Really disappointing because I felt they prepared me for a more positive outcome.

Question 1
Learning the Twilio Magic is really important. They ask you a ton of questions about this. They also asked questions regarding teamwork and coordinating with colleagues.
