Hi All,
This review is not only for people who are getting calls from twitter buy specially for twitter recruiters and HR individuals, so if you got to hear what / how we feel you must work on it.
First, receiving call / coding round is big thing for all job seekers. But twitter is way different then any other major IT organisation. Reason, IMO, HR just sends a bulk mail to ones who are in luck if they are interested, so it NOT like other organisations when they genuinely interested in you but rather HR doing their Job of asking if you wanna move forward. BIG TURN DOWN FOR ME HERE.
Second, WTF is coding round? Genuinely I am so so done after looking at your coding questions, which I am going to put down anyways. Is that how twitter selects candidates? Do you guys think, that what we as a candidate prepare 10's of hours to get those question? IMO, check Hackerank, Amazon, Google test else forget about asking Algorithmic question.
I feel, there is whole lot things, to improve on their recruitment strategy (as I was recruiter myself for lil bit of time), I am not saying it has to go by my way, but TWITTER is a BIG NAME in IT industry, try behaving like one. If we as a candidates receives call from you, I am not sure about you but we are genuinely interested and give our heart and soul for it, until such misery strikes us.
Question are as follows, and please put a sincere effort of making reasonable questions. For me Twitter lost the respect I had after this round. So not a very positive experiences here.
