I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Twilio (Remote) in Oct 2022
Interview
High bar similar to FAANG- Had 4 rounds of interviews that involved peer coding, design, and culture fit. Fair & Friendly- Interviewers asked nothing out of the ordinary. A bit of lag with the software being used but got through it. They weren't too quick nor too slow to provide tips when stuck. They were up front with the amount of time each question will take and were more interested in thought process & communication than getting the perfect answer. Had a solid recruiter who provided quick turn around for scheduling

Signed an NDA so I can't share specific questions, but they provide you with things that are recommended to study before interviewing
It was whole day interview from 9 to 5. Each hour new team interviewed me with new design problem. The last one was with HR and on my answer about salary expectations, she reasked and said they need to think. I did not got offer.
Three-stage process: recruiter screening, a test task and on-site interview. Both test task and the on-site were simple and straightforward, with focus on practical skills. On-site included the prospective team lead, VP and a team lead from another team in the same location.
