I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at X (New York, NY) in Dec 2018
Interview
I had a phone call with HR and then came in to meet with the team lead that same week. The interview seemed to go great but I then didn't hear back from anyone for 3 weeks. I was then told they wanted me to come in for interviews, but it took another 3 weeks to schedule it. I then had interviews with 4 members of the team and was told I should hear back the following week. 10 days later, I followed up with HR and they said I'd hear from them the following week. I didn't hear the following week and checked in again now 2.5 weeks after the interviews. They said they needed another week to decide. I then heard back 3 days later that I did not get the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What ideas do you have for the job? Why Twitter? What's your relevant experience to the job?
I applied through the portal for the profile. After a week or so I received an email from a recruiter asking for 3 time slots for a brief discussion. I gave him/her that and later had the discussion that lasted a mere 20 mins. After that, he said he would send my details to the hiring manager and would get back to me after a couple of days. Now, its been exactly a month and I still haven't received any updates from him. I even replied to his email asking for updates but still no word from him

Question 1
About my background to check if I were fit for the role.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at X (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
I was contacted by their Talent Acquisitions team and we spoke on the phone for 15 min. This call was merely just to check the boxes and confirm that I was actually interested in the job opportunity.
Next step: phone call with Hiring Manager. She was traveling so the call didn't happen until 2wk later. I didn't have to answer "Tell me about yourself" questions because she had my resume at hand, but she did ask a couple behavioral example questions based on my resume so be prepared to talk about your work experience in detail.
Onsites: I didn't hear back for another 2 weeks, so I followed up with my Talent Acquisitions contact. He apologized for the delay (mgr traveling again) and I was invited in for onsite interviews. I had 6 interviews in 4 hours with no breaks, so bring a snack.
Following the Onsites, I waited 3 weeks without feedback so I followed up with the recruiter again. I was told that same day that they went with a different candidate. There's a clear communication gap between HR & hiring teams which is understandable at a bigger company - so be patient and proactive if there's radio silence and you haven't heard back.

Question 1
General behavioral questions "Tell me about a time" - so prepare examples and share details, results, learnings. Include quantifiable results if any.
Each interviewer is focusing on a different quality and/or attribute. The behavioral questions per interviewer will fall into one of the attribute buckets.
