I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at X (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Mar 2013
Interview
Numerous interviews via video call and a few interviews in Global HQs. 3 months process. Brilliant people making excellent and honest questions. Recruiter left me with no news for 1 month.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at X
Interview
The process was very friendly, honest and well organized, although a bit long. It required lots of meetings via Skype with employee working in a similar position around Europe. The final one was in persone with the potential reporting to.

Question 1
Which is the key opportunity for our company in your country?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at X
Interview
10+ rounds, all 30min and 1:1. Overall a great experience and incredibly talented staff. The only disappointment was the missing guidance and feedback along the process from HR and the hiring manager. Even after 10+ rounds, I didn't get any feedback on my emails or questions on next steps. Hope I'm the exception to the rule.

Question 1
Since all the sessions were very short most of the time was taken up by introductions. General background questions, probably targeted at evaluating team & culture fit.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X in Apr 2015
Interview
Applied online, recruiter contacted and had screening call followed by a call with the hiring manager. I was then invited for an onsite interview. Once on site I was blown away by the facilities and the buzz but very discouraged by the confusion and chaos on strategy and direction. Clearly Twitter does a lot to create a cool
environment - a l a Google - but without clarity of direction and a comparably profitable business model. Its like the coolness is put way before the concept of making money as a business. It seemed to me this company skews towards younger hipster type candidates with less experience but raw smarts.
I was not invited for a second round. What struck me was their curiosity in getting as much out of me in terms of best practices I implemented at my existing employer, a very successful Internet company. They wanted it all, seemed a bit over the top!
My biggest disappointment was they never closed the interview process to tell me I was not successful.
