I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Twilio (London, England) in Jan 2021
Interview
Took nearly 2 months end to end which can mean if you are in multiple processes things can get complicated. HR screen, then initial hiring manager, then five 45 video interviews over the course of five days inc. one ‘bar raiser’. Values were definitely a feature but how much varied according to the interviewer. After that, there was a blind written test that had to be done in 45 minutes. Very extensive, thorough but generally well run process. Am looking forward to joining.

Question 1
Describe a time when you led change using the STAR model.
Overall great process! Really cool that they include what they call a Bar Raiser in the final round of interview. Really shows they care and live by their "Twilio Magic". Interview was a mix of peers and other BUs with which I would work closely with.
