      Data Engineer Interview

      Feb 11, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at X (London, England) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      Applied online, a recruiter got back to me in a couple of days, suggesting to have a VC to discuss my experience, motivations to work for Twitter and do some coding. The interview was easy, the interviewer asked about my background and clarified some details from my CV, then asked to solve an easy problem. Got rejected the same evening on the day of the interview, saying that I don't match the position.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      -If you got the job at Twitter and got access to all of its data what kind of data analysis would you like to perform? -Given a list of all followers in format: 123, 345 234, 678 345, 123 ... where the first column contains the id of the follower, and the second one is the id of who's followed, find all mutual follows(pair 123, 345 in the example above). Do the same in the case, when this list does not fit into the memory (they were expecting a solution, that would use MapReduce).

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in May 2019

      Interview

      The hiring process at Twitter, takes me about 2+ months and finally shows the worst thing that could happen for a candidate - Break their own words without respect. I have been redirected back and forth for quite a long time, to talk with 3 managers, and passed 2 phone interviews, and the HR has formally emailed me that "Congrats! Twitter decides to bring you onsite soon". Then after I talked with the person who supposed to schedule the travel and onsite date, suddenly I get informed that the team fills the position and we continue to try to find you a fit (which they didn't). The outcome of the interview process just makes me feel awful. If you cannot do an onsite for a candidate, even it is not because he/she is not good enough, let them know in time. Breaking the word is the worst thing you could do to a candidate.
