Interview
Interviewed in early October 2015. This was right before Jack was reinstated as CEO and a few days after the launch of Moments. The turnaround time was impressive, but I have to say, I was met with very stiff and unwelcoming staff. I have built both iOS and Android apps from the ground up and have served as a PM, so I felt qualified for the position. The first phone screen by the recruiter felt very rushed. The recruiter barely waited a second after my answers before firing off more questions. I know that there must be a general checklist of questions to go through, but I felt as if the recruiter was rushing me without registering what I was saying. A few days later, I had an interview over the phone with one of their PMs. The call came 15 minutes late, and there wasn't even an introduction. Again, the questions were fired at quick succession. "How would you design an iron for a blind person."etc. The phone call ended rather abruptly after 40min. I felt as if the PM was waiting for the exact minute to hit before cutting the call off. I was promised a follow up email regarding my candidacy, but I received no emails. I sent an email a week later curious about the process. I received no reply.
I get that the company is undergoing a bit of restructuring, but I have never experienced such unprofessionalism. Hopefully, as things settle, the process becomes better.
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.
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.
