I was looking for Mac IT support positions on Craigslist and came upon an IT Admin position for Twitter. I barely used Twitter at the time but I knew it was a growing company in the city so I applied online. Within a week, I was scheduled for a phone interview with the hiring manager. He asked the typical questions such as "Why do you want to work here?" and "Describe your daily work routine.". A few days later, I was scheduled an onsite interview.
At their downtown offices, I interviewed with about three members of the IT team and the hiring manager. The first two interviewers were the normal run of the mill, IT support workers. We talked about their deployment systems and their daily routine. They were very down to earth.
The third interviewer was somewhat difficult. He was a typical SF hipster with the hooded pullover and sandals. He threw me off by mentioning "Brian Williams" had stopped by the Twitter offices and how exciting that was. I kept on envisioning the NBC news anchor but he actually meant "Brian Wilson", the SF Giants pitcher. He noticed I had noted I had some Unix experience and he grilled me on that. He also grilled me on subjects I was unfamiliar with like web programming. He asked for my Twitter handle and chuckled as he pulled it up on his laptop.
Finally, the last interview was with the hiring manager. He went on about how he worked at Apple Corp. and hired "good people". He abruptly ended the interview because his nanny was sick and he had to pick up his child from school.
I never heard back from Twitter afterwards. The only way I found out I wasn't hired was by checking my Jobvite.
