Was totally ghosted, recruiter never replied
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
standard twilio value based questions. same values that they dont follow. Claim to "Be bold" , but no boldness in communicating the interview outcome.
I was given a take-home coding exercise, which was quite a bit more hefty than most others I've had. Sent a link to the public repo a few days later. The following week, the recruiter asked me to send the link I already sent. When I followed up the next week, I found that the recruiter's email bounced - they were no longer with the company. So I then emailed a higher-up, who passed me along to another recruiter, who I then sent my exercise to yet again. A rejection followed soon after with no feedback.
Phone screen and onsite with a few leetcode and system design questions. The overall process was professional and the recruiters did a good job of keeping me up to date.
