I was asked some really good questions, but there was a limit on the characters for each answer. I told them I didn't have a character limit and kept on going in a series of verbal Tweets. This was some time ago, back when Twitter was still Twitter.

Behavioral Technical

Applied online and got an email for an initial call with a recruiter. After that, there were 5 interviews with different people and a written exam. The whole process took a long time because it took forever to schedule the interviews. It wasn't anything super out of the ordinary, just standard questions. The process was long but not really stressful.

Behavioral Technical

I applied online and a recruiter quickly contacted me. She was really nice and clear about the job. We then scheduled a phone interview, followed by an assignment. The recruiter maintained good communication throughout this phase. I was then invited for an in-person interview where I met with 3 or 4 interviewers. After the interview, I was told they'd let me know about the next steps the following week. However, weeks went by and I heard nothing. I tried reaching out to the recruiter and another person I interviewed with multiple times, but the recruiter never replied to my emails. Over a month later, I received a rejection email. The recruiter's lack of response was unprofessional. Honestly, I think Twitter has issues with diversity in hiring, and that was probably the problem. I was highly qualified and interviewed well. I hope Twitter will one day truly embrace diversity to reflect its user base.
