I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Twilio in Mar 2022
Interview
I was referred to Twilio by a friend and soon after I was reached out to. I was asked for my details and a link to an online technical assessment was sent out to me. That's as far as I got because after that, they ghosted me. Then took me back to the beginning of the entire process asking for my details again before proceeding to reject me immediately with no explanation given whatsoever. The whole process was automated so no one to reach out to ask for feedback. Even my friend that referred me couldn't understand what was happening. Don't waste your time applying here.

Question 1
The technical exercise was on Hackerrank. One frontend question, one backend question, one CSS question and one plain JS question.
I was given a take-home coding exercise, which was quite a bit more hefty than most others I've had. Sent a link to the public repo a few days later. The following week, the recruiter asked me to send the link I already sent. When I followed up the next week, I found that the recruiter's email bounced - they were no longer with the company. So I then emailed a higher-up, who passed me along to another recruiter, who I then sent my exercise to yet again. A rejection followed soon after with no feedback.
Phone screen and onsite with a few leetcode and system design questions. The overall process was professional and the recruiters did a good job of keeping me up to date.
