Process
Two interviews for the final round:
- Coding interview (45 mins)
- Twilio Magic Value (45 mins)
I figured out the coding problem in 15 minutes with my pseudocode, but the interviewer wanted me to solve it their way (including even how I should write code in a for loop). We went through the question using a different data structure, and I wrote pseudocode for the new approach, but there was not enough time for me to finish coding and submit the test.
The interviewer was late, around 10 minutes, for the Magic Value interview.
