Process
The position I interviewed for was a new grad role. I applied, and a week or so later, I received a HackerRank assessment.
It was a while ago, and I completed so many assessments at the time that I don't remember the exact questions. I believe it included one easy and one medium question, or perhaps two medium questions; I don't recall precisely.
About a week and a half after that, I received an email inviting me to the hiring event in August. The hiring event was great. Every interviewer was interesting and helpful.
It consisted of a four-part interview:
- One behavioral
- One design
- Two LeetCode-style questions
I received an offer a week after the final interview.

Twilio Work Experiences
- 2.0Low Pressure, No Quality WorkSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaFebruary 6, 2024Pros: Flexible, low work pressure, comfortable.Cons: No quality work, no hike.
- 2.0A Company in DeclineSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeDecember 9, 2019Pros: * A good core technology and commitment to building a business * A strong sense of social missionCons: The engineering org has lost its way, and the pace and quality of innovation fell off a couple years ago and may never return. It's become a sales company and only cares how much its reps are crushing it. The product side has become a confusing mess of mismanagement, bureaucracy, politics, and competing sideways initiatives. Twilio has the bureaucracy of a company ten times its size. None of its management knows what their jobs are or how to do them. The company has an inkling that something is wrong and is beginning to make some good firings, but the quality of incoming management is ever lower, so it's not helping. The company is so enamored of social justice initiatives and abstract corporate values that the culture has become very cult-like and is getting in the way of them actually running a company that takes care of its people.
