Entretien
The interviewers are friendly and it was nice experience. After spending 4 different rounds of interviews you would expect feedback. HRs do not respond at all. Even after explicitly replying for a response after a week without any contact after the interview just got reply that someone will get in touch to give feedback. Nobody even bothered to send even a generic rejection email. All the reviews in glassdoor about the interview process are true.
I felt interviews went great as was able to solve most problems but due to the silence culture of this company I had to assume was rejected and never even got to know why. I won't say it's worth all the hype that they don't even bother to send the result after an interview can only image how worse the culture would be.

Question 1
Hackerrank test and then coderpad tests with a graph related question.
Thank you for taking the time to interview with us and for sharing feedback. I realize it can be frustrating when you do not receive a response from the team, and I am sorry you experienced this. We are actively working on improving communication with our candidates as we realize this is an area of opportunity to improve. I hope you will continue to consider Twilio as new opportunities open.

Went to final round, Recruiter was very attentive and would schedule prep calls between interview rounds to check in, which was very helpful. All technical problems were of reasonable difficulty, and interviewers took a collaborative approach to presenting them.
Full interview process:
Hackerrank Challenge (100 mins)
- LC medium
Recruiter call (30 mins)
- standard behavioural questions
- looking for culture fit and "twilio magic" values in answers
Technical Screen (60 mins)
- 50/50 between coding and discussion
- easy problem that grows in complexity, interviewer wants to see how you adapt to growing requirements
"Final Round" gauntlet (3 * 60 mins)
- System design interview with HM; I was challenged to design a system to manage elevators
- REST/Backend interview; you're given an API to fetch from and process data
- Frontend/React interview; built a functional interface from boilerplate

Great Interview experience. I really liked the fact that the interview was highly behavioral because that makes the interviewers deep-dive into how the candidate would be like to work with. I also liked the fact that there was little emphasis on programming/problem solving in interviews because that makes it a very stressful ambiance for the candidate, which is often driven by luck. Overall it was an amazing experience.

Question 1
Cannot mention due to NDA. But they were medium-level LC questions. There was also a System Design Round which was fairly manageable to complete within 45 minutes.
