Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I had two hours to solve a simple HackerRank problem. I was done in about 20 minutes.
I spent the rest of the time adding "bells and whistles," unit tests, and made the whole thing parallel.
I received a nearly instantaneous reply from Twilio (less than one hour after submission, in the evening) stating they did not wish to proceed.
