The interview process was drawn out over almost 7 weeks. It was the typical cadence with recruiter screen, hiring manager and then a panel of 4 people from across the org. The interviewers all had 'required questions' that they explicitly told me they needed to ask me. One interviewer spent 15 minutes sharing her life story and asked for mine. Almost none allowed enough time for me to ask questions. The panel round of interviews was rescheduled multiple times by Twilio due to vacation time. The recruiter did not keep me up to date or offer any feedback throughout, and at the close of my final interview when we met face to face she said she was 'glad to finally close out this req.' I was told a date when I would hear back on their final decision and I've since been ghosted.

Question 1
How do you manage competing priorities?
How have you worked with global teams?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Twilio in Nov 2024
Interview
Swift, transparent, fantastic! My recruiter was extremely communicative and responsive throughout the process, which was refreshing given today's talent market... The team seemed very clear on their ideal candidate and asked really thoughtful questions without it feeling stuffy/ overly scripted. Overall a really great experience.

Question 1
How did you handle a difficult conversation at work?
Went through 5 rounds only to be ghosted then denied 2 weeks later. Another great company that will waste your time in applying to their role. The team sounded amazing.
I should have paid attention to the reviews -- this process was highly inconsiderate of my time (5+ hours) and I received a form rejection letter (after following up with the recruiter twice), saying that "no feedback can be requested". What a waste of time. Very impersonal.

Question 1
They are a very typical Silicon Valley company. Questions aligned.
