I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
I applied through an internal referral. Got a 30 minute phone interview with a product director for one group. Got an email back a little over a week later from the recruiter saying they want me to talk to a different product director for a few different groups for a 30 min phone interview. A little over a week later got an email saying they wanted me to come in for an on-site to interview for a PM role within one of the last director's groups. Once I got to on-site I learned that it was actually for a different group, but still under same director. Seemed to be a little confusion over that.
On-site was about 4 hours long and I think I met with 8 people total (some were shadows). Overall process was very fun. Everyone was very nice and I felt comfortable. Definitely get there early for the on-site because it takes a while to get checked in and I had to park my bike, etc.
After that I went back for the final round to do a final presentation (google slides) on a prompt they gave me to a room full of the same people that I met with during the on-site. It seemed like it went well, but ended up not getting an offer. Found out through an email unfortunately because my recruiter was on vacation. Really enjoyed the process though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If Twitter were to get into payments, how should they do it?
How many logins are there in a day into Gmail?
How would you make the perception of the airline industry better across America?
Problem solving through a fake accounts flow.
How does Facebook oauth work?
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.
