I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Twilio (Bengaluru) in Jul 2022
Interview
Total interview process is a mess. They schedule interview with panel members who don't have enough knowledge or experience to assess candidate in the right way.
1. Round1 is a coding round. Very basic DS Algo questions on strings. Some 4-5 lines of code presented and asked above share review feedback. (Rejected for no valid reason and no feedback shared).
2. Round1 again done to screen. Architecture and design questions. Although it appears everything went really good, the result is not expected. (Rejected for no valid reason and no feedback shared. Automated mail received - At this point no feedback would be provided :)

The process was smooth, and feedback was also reasonably soon. In the interest of time, I think a decent working solution should be considered acceptable. The systems design is also subjective

Question 1
Technical assessments were focused on practical pair-programming exercises and system design. I found this to be a refreshing departure from the typical LeetCode-style algorithm exercises.
