      Business Development Interview

      19 Apr 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2011

      Interview

      My friend recommended that I apply for a job and I sent him my resume. I got a email asking for a phone interview with a recruiter, which went well. It took a long time after that for any response and then I get an invitation for an in person interview. I met with some people on the BD/Sales teams during the first interview, which went well but it was pretty clear that the employees had very little clear vision or product direction. I was surprised by some of their answers to questions I had as to the company and products. I was invited back for a second interview, where I meet more senior level executives and other cross functional members of other departments. Again the interview went well, but again there was very little passion of focus from anyone I interviewed with. Almost universally my questions were answered with generic "twitter is growing fast" answers, but no clear path about what makes twitter different than other companies and how they were going to succeed in a crowded marketplace. I liked the people there and the focus on perfection in existing products and business was clear (very data driven like Google - not surprising since many of the employees worked for Google). A very huge negative about the whole process is after each interaction Twitter provides very little to no feedback unless you take proactive action and reach out to them. Very unprofessional, especially when interviewing for more senior roles. I eventually received an offer (above market salary, low stock compensation) but turned it down due to my questions about the long term business model and lack of direction at the company.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      There is a phone screen and then a "super day" at the headquarters in SF with opportunity to talk to 3 people. Some people had it through video but others had it in person. The recruiters were really nice, but it's one of those interviews that you couldn't tell if you did well or not.

      Question 1

      Tell me about yourself, social media campaign, market research, data analysis experience

      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2012

      Interview

      The process began with a 30 min phone interview and continued with in-person interviews. The interview was for the senior executive who I was going to work with directly as an intern. I did not progress beyond the phone interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Asked typical interview questions around what my story was, why interested in tech, why interested in Twitter. They asked what opportunities I saw in Twitter's future and what features I would change.
