First a call from Recruiter and then the hiring manager will call.
Just general discussion on what you do. The hiring manager did not know or understand the technologies. Also was not aware on how. What each twilio was built and was least interested in listening. Felt he was not interested in interviewing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Your most difficult situation
Your daily tasks
Technologies used
I am sorry you did not have a positive experience with us and felt the hiring manager was unprepared. I will be sure to review this with my team. Thank you for your feedback, and I hope you will continue to consider Twilio in the future.
Negative experience
Average interview
Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Twilio (Bengaluru)
Interview
There was a total of 5 rounds.
Location: Bangalore
1) Manager - Who was in Bangalore
There were two scenario-based questions
i) If your grandmother never used Facebook how would you describe it to her.
ii) A person is blind and mute (It was described to me as Dumb), how would you explain sunrise.
- Well, when I try to understand the details of the character (Was the person blind from birth or some incident had happened etc..) The manager said, he doesn't understand what an Apple is and not many details. This shows the manager was googling it and giving me the questions.
Although I answered and described it to my much creativity.
Do know what happened?
He was yawning the whole time, I know shouldn't be judging but it was evident he was not paying attention.
I am talking about the whole interview which was conducted.
Another Tech round:
He was a Level 2, very bad experience. I can see him chatting with someone and laughing in the video. I was completely offended. Cause everybody is investing time for a cause. Takes off video and says I have a network issue, comes back again. Completely off the grid of the interview.
The only positive review I can give is when I had an interview with 2 people who were located out of India (Germany and Ireland) they were very professional and very honest in talking about things.

The interview process was very well defined and systematic. First round was a take home written test, which was followed by HR discussion and manager review. Then there was 3 technical rounds and 1 bar raiser round.
