Process

The process started with a HackerRank screening. It was a bit strange to receive this before speaking with anyone, but overall, I'm glad they conducted it first.

Next, I was screened by a recruiter who inquired about my general experience and provided details about the role. They mentioned compensation ranges, which is helpful to know before investing days in interviews only to be disappointed.

Following that, there was a series of three 45-minute interviews conducted back-to-back:

  • One was a technical assessment.
  • Another focused on behavioral questions.
  • The final interview was a presentation that included the first two interviewers and a hiring manager.

I was then invited back for a final round interview with a "bar raiser." This is another behavioral-style interview. They seek to understand situations you've encountered in your career and how they align with Twilio's values. The Twilio "magic," or its core values, is a consistent theme throughout all interviews.

Overall, it was a positive experience. I would have enjoyed working with the individuals who interviewed me. The recruiter and her assistant were also excellent. They clearly explained the process, kept me informed, and were responsive throughout.
