I interviewed at Twitter
Very practical and straightforward. I found the process to be very pleasant. Everyone was nice and I didn’t feel like I I was given trick questions or anything of that sort
- I had to write a react all and also do a technical design

I interviewed at Twitter (New York, NY)
At first communion was great, everything went smoothly and I received prompt feedbacks. After final interviews - HR completely disappeared and stopped answering emails. I asked for feedbacks but got no answer, really dissapointing since I spent some time preparing for each stage. Will not recommend, a big company as Twitter should not let candidates feel devalued!
- Question about KPIs

3 rounds, I spoke with a phone recruiter first. Just went into background for first round. Second round was with team and some behavioral questions. Third round was more behavioral and some technical.
- What did you do at your last job?

It wasn't bad. The interview evaluates your product thinking skills for the most part. But they also want to know more about your problem-solving skills. Some of the questions included: How would you improve user engagement on WhatsApp? Tell me a time when you influenced engineering to build a particular feature. Design a new feature for Twitter that improves the new user’s experience
- How would you improve user engagement on WhatsApp?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Twitter
Had 3 rounds. Each was more formal. However, it seemed very disjointed at times. So I found it hard to know what exact role they were looking for and what they wanted me to showcase while being asked questions.
- Name a time you overcame adversity ?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Twitter
Incredibly nice people to talk to, well structured interviews. I did a recruiter round, a hiring manager round and a final panel round. My experience during the process was superb.. However, I've now been ghosted after the final panel round. (My first ever ghosting after years of interviewing in companies!). It's odd as right up until this, they were very communicative with me. Granted, they are probably in a bit of turmoil at the moment internally, since the Elon Musk move. Still though, it's unprofessional- a simple automated rejection email - or even an email to inform me that the process is on hold if that was the case - would have done the trick and left me with a good taste in my mouth, as opposed to zero contact. We all know with ATS systems, it's just a click of a button to inform candidates they're no longer being considered .
- What are you most proud of?

I applied online. I interviewed at Twitter (Toronto, ON) in May 2022
They expect to solve an easy problem but with some complicated way to show skills. The task was straight forward but there could be many potential solutions. I think they are looking for you to show as much as you can in easy task.
- To design a system they give you.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Vancouver, BC
I applied through an employee referral I interviewed at Twitter (Vancouver, BC) in May 2022
6 interviews of 1 hour each. one of them was focused on technical competency and the rest were about people leadership. growing engineers, collaborating with tech leads, cross-functional collaboration. conflict resolution comes up in every interview.
- 1. describe the architecture of your current product
- 2. tell me about a time you led a migration
- 3. what would your manager tell about your strengths and weaknesses

Anonymous Interview Candidate in San Francisco, CA
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Twitter (San Francisco, CA)
Applied with resume in portal, recruiter booked me for an interview and then ghosted me since interview completion. I was suppose to hear back by now but guess its a ghost move :/. I don’t like the lack of transparency in the Twitter process as I don’t even know if the team is still making a decision or if theyve moved on with someone else. I’ve mentally accepted a reject but getting ghosted is honestly very frustrating especially since I’ve sent many emails to the recruiters. Idk why they can’t just respond but whatever. This left a very sour taste in my mouth especially since they’ve broken promises. If I apply to Twitter again in the future then I know I won’t be taking their process seriously and just accept any other offer that comes in between rather than beg the recruiters for a response.

The researcher at the security team asked about the project proposal submitted with the application. Afterwards it was just a few questions about the job and what they were looking for.
- What is the project's name? What is it about?
