The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at X in Sept 2021
Interview
Bad experience which I didn’t expect from a company like Twitter. Firstly the recruiter went missing after first call where he asked me my availability and all. I had to chase him to get my interview scheduled. Then the first round of interview was done by two kind if new graduates (couple of year exp). I was given one problem to solve. I came up with solution, explained the algorithm, and data structure used and wrote the code and finished the problem. The interviewer were not familiar with java so they were confused themselves. But eventually they seemed convinced and okay with my responses. Later on I cam to know that I was rejected. Such a waste of time!

The process quite unique compared to other process. it is combination of coding algorithms and understanding the platform. The technical round requires me to build a project from scratch within 45 mins

First HR call, seems like a very good match with the position, then 60 mins phone screen interview with a pretty standard leetcode medium question, bug free and had good feedback from the interviewer, then the next day received a moving forward email with no surprise, totally waste of time.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X in Aug 2022
Interview
HR screen, standard coding interview. Moved on to the final round. The interviewers could not have been nicer, for the coding or the system design round. The final behavioral management interview was alright as well - they really dig into your past. What annoyed me the most is the recruiter ghosting me. I understand not getting the role, some explanation of why or closing out the loop seems the least courteous thing someone could do. I do not like the whole "let's prep you for the final round of interviews, and make a great candidate experience" schtick, and then proceed to ghost the candidate. Really, a large pool of candidates is fantastic for the company, but I would not imagine anybody would like to simply be left in the dark after preparing for weeks and weeks to hear nothing. Super disappointed more than anything.
