I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Twilio
Interview
I was introduced to the hiring manager through a friend of mine, which meant I was able to skip the recruiter vetting step and go straight to the hiring manager. We talked on the phone for about half an hour, and that was that. Like many have indicated, it was hard to hear the other person. I really had to strain to hear. I'm not sure why, since I know the hiring manager was located in NYC, not SF. I knew very little about the position going in, and I wasn't the only one. They were looking for someone with more multimedia experience, which I did not have, so no big loss there.

Question 1
They asked me what I did not like about their current documentation. Luckily I had taken a look and had a good answer for it.
Screening with recruiter went very well, but was never called back even though they expressed interest in moving me forward in the interview process. Was suprised due to great communication process.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Twilio in Apr 2023
Interview
The process started with an initial phone call interview with recruiter. Then came a portfolio review of my different technical writing samples. Then I was given a writing sample assignment. After this, I had a Bar Raiser interview with a Twilio employee, then three 45-minute interviews with different Twilio team members.

Question 1
How do you approach your process to making documentation?
I applied online. I interviewed at Twilio (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
I was assigned an onboarding buddy and provided with a detailed 90-day plan. Onboarding was guided every step of the way. Open, transparent, and welcoming environment, and I felt like I belonged and was very much valued from day one. It's definitely the people who make Twilio. You will feel very supported.
