Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en X (Boston, MA) en sep 2019
Entrevista
1 hour phone screen to assess technical skills. 3 90 minute onsite rounds to assess coding + system design + behavioral abilities.
One thing I really liked about how Twitter does things is that they give you detailed feedback on how you do in each round. This definitely helped me in preparing after the phone screen. I was told I did well on all technical portions.
One thing I did not particularly enjoy (but I understand) was the amount of focus on behavioral questions/answers. Even after the onsite concluded, I had two more 30 minute sessions with hiring manager and recruiter to go through more behavioral questions. My guess is that there were a few questions I did not provide too satisfactory of an answer, and ultimately led to the decision on not getting the final offer. Definitely interesting news and a bit of a humble pill to swallow if I'm being honest, but it is what it is.
Team and project I was applying for seemed really interesting and if I had gotten the offer I would have chosen this place to work at. Perks and benefits pretty much the standard in Bay Area. Alas I did not get it :(

Given a stream of logs, parse and count actions per time window.
Lots and lots of behavioral questions, make sure to brush up on your resume and past projects and be able to talk about every single thing on it (I mean EVERYTHING).
The process quite unique compared to other process. it is combination of coding algorithms and understanding the platform. The technical round requires me to build a project from scratch within 45 mins

First HR call, seems like a very good match with the position, then 60 mins phone screen interview with a pretty standard leetcode medium question, bug free and had good feedback from the interviewer, then the next day received a moving forward email with no surprise, totally waste of time.

HR screen, standard coding interview. Moved on to the final round. The interviewers could not have been nicer, for the coding or the system design round. The final behavioral management interview was alright as well - they really dig into your past. What annoyed me the most is the recruiter ghosting me. I understand not getting the role, some explanation of why or closing out the loop seems the least courteous thing someone could do. I do not like the whole "let's prep you for the final round of interviews, and make a great candidate experience" schtick, and then proceed to ghost the candidate. Really, a large pool of candidates is fantastic for the company, but I would not imagine anybody would like to simply be left in the dark after preparing for weeks and weeks to hear nothing. Super disappointed more than anything.
