I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2017
Interview
Recruiter reached out after I attended a machine learning Twitter meet-up. Interview with the recruiter went really well. The first technical interview with a member of the team went even better. I was pretty pumped and excited to interview the hiring manager... until he cancelled on me twice. Cancelling is a nice way to say it. He just did not call. No email to let me know he'd miss the call, no apology, nothing. When he called the third time around, he asked one unique behavioral question "Why did Amazon purchase Whole Foods?". That's it. Did not give me any time to ask my own questions. He had a really bad attitude, was condescending and somehow rude. The recruiter ended up apologizing on his behalf. I definitely dodged a bullet, what a nightmare reporting to that kind of boss. Just another confirmation that Twitter middle management is not well run and the recruiting process is inconsistent.
They put me through hours of interviews to be told they closed the role. The interview questions were fair. I wish they didn't schedule a video call to reject me - it got my hopes up. Would prefer to be rejected via email.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at X in Feb 2022
Interview
Overall a smooth process. I met with the recruiter, followed by the hiring manager and then the interview loop. The loop was virtual, five sessions for 45 minutes, and with two participants in each session. The recruiter prepped me for my interviews and let me know the loop focus areas: Resume Review; Technical Communications; Product Roadmap; Building a Better Company; Cross-Functional Collaboration.

Question 1
Tell me about a decision that you made that wasn't popular? How did you get buy-in?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Referred by current employee.
Received email from recruiter requesting a phone screen. Responded multiple times before the recruiter responded again. Tried several times to schedule the call.
Recruiter totally dropped the ball. At some point he blamed the tracking system. Never got the phone screen setup; withdrew my application.
My referrer tells my Twitter's recruiting function is a sh*tshow right now.

Question 1
Never got this far thanks to broken recruiting function.
