I applied online. I interviewed at Twilio (Bengaluru) in Apr 2020
Interview
Interviewed for India office. Nowhere close to the hype Twilio has in the US. Offering very low compensation. Looks like they are planning to open a low-cost back office in Bangalore. The interview was well structured but felt easy.
Thank you for your interest in Twilio! I am sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with us. We are constantly looking at our processes and reevaluating best practices especially as we move into new countries. We strive for everyone to have a positive experience and will use this as a learning opportunity.
Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Twilio
I was given a take-home coding exercise, which was quite a bit more hefty than most others I've had. Sent a link to the public repo a few days later. The following week, the recruiter asked me to send the link I already sent. When I followed up the next week, I found that the recruiter's email bounced - they were no longer with the company. So I then emailed a higher-up, who passed me along to another recruiter, who I then sent my exercise to yet again. A rejection followed soon after with no feedback.
Phone screen and onsite with a few leetcode and system design questions. The overall process was professional and the recruiters did a good job of keeping me up to date.

Very friendly talent acquisition staff member, was given plenty of info for technical test, including what concepts would be asked. Had to do a systems design interview also and was given enough to prep for that.
