I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
I think it was a the best interview experience of my life.
I was very surprised how nice *everyone* was. Usually big companies have some kind of attitude, but not here. At first I was concerned by the fact that it's 2 interviewers for each session, but they made everything to put me at ease. Shout out to the recruiter as well! So nice!
Food is amazing.
11/10 will take a job at Twitter again
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2024
Interview
Not complicated, multi layered / multi round, many questions asked about prior work history in machine learning, were looking for young, hungry, experienced candidates. Easy for them to find and sift through since they're a premier place to work at for this application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked if I was willing to work at the office at all times, essentially live there, come to find out they're moving to TX and thus I can't follow them.
Phone screen at Twitter for MLE II. One hour coding interview with a software engineer on the same team. Spent the first 10 minutes going through the resume and the rest 45 minutes doing leetcode questions.

Question 1
Leetcode question with minor change. Apply DFS/BFS to traverse a matrix. Follow-up question is another leetcode question that requires knowledge of prefix tree.
The interviewer gave me a coding question and ask me to solve it. I told him my idea first and then start writing code. After I finish the basic solution, he asked me to optimize it. Then he asked me about time and space complexity.
