I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Twilio (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
Consisted of an off-site meeting with my hiring manager, a technical phone screen, and a series of onsite technical interviews. Pretty standard format. All interviewers had been trained extremely well in how to conduct an interview, and all of the questions scaled well to a variety of experience levels. Overall, my interview experience at Twilio was better than any other experience I've had. Much better than Google or Facebook.
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.
