Process

The interview process involves three stages:

  • A timed take-home assessment on HackerRank.
  • A remote "onsite" that consists of four stages:
    • A "bar raiser" round to assess your situational awareness and behavioral responses.
    • Technical talks with someone in the team.
    • A systems design round.
    • A pair programming session.

There was a considerable wait between the first and second rounds. However, after that, my recruiter was super responsive, provided amazing prep guides, and delivered a final decision less than a week after the "onsite" interviews.

Questions

Study systems design.

Study the core values of Twilio Magic.
