Entrevista
Twitter reached out to me several times over the years. Most recently it was for an SRE position. I spoke with the team lead and had a nice positive conversation, then was set up for a screen with another SRE. Though I was told I would need to do live scripting with the other SRE, he decided not to do that with me, which was good, since I had told everyone along the way that my strength was not in scripting, and if the job required heavy scripting or coding or code analysis that I was not the right person for the job. Nonetheless, when it came to an in-person interview, it was all about scripting. I found that a bit frustrating and a waste of my time. In general, I felt that the right hand had no idea what the left hand was doing.

One manager in this SRE team is really disgusting. My worst experience so far. I passed all technical questions in the 1st round phone coding screening. This 2nd round is with the HM. behavioral questions mostly. He is so FAKE. He behaves like passing on to the next stage but rejected me 5 minutes later. Reading questions from a piece of paper with a faked voice. Writing notes while probably not hearing what I said. Looks like a politician, not a technical manager. Twitter looks too political internally at this impression. Really disappointed.

Twitter contacted me on an online recruiting platform and we planned our first call on Hangout.
The recruiter did not show up due to transportation problem so we decided to rescheduled.
The second time, recruiter did not show up, again due to "connectivity issue" and we decided to rescheduled, one more time.
The third time, as you can guess, recruiter did not show up due to "multiple booking at the same time".
So I guess I am not going to loose my time with Twitter anymore.

Entrevista
Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. There were three interviews. The whole process took about 4 weeks. The first was an HR phone interview where she asked me about my background and some basic networking/Unix questions. The next round was a phone interview with hiring manager where he asked questions about my background, technical interests, projects etc. I was given a take home coding challenge. The challenge was a lot of fun to code and ended up finishing it in a couple days. A week later got a call from HR saying they liked my solution and would like to interview me onsite. Onsite interview was a set of 3 interviews of an hour each with 2 people from the team at a time. Interviewers were friendly, smart and overall was a very pleasant experience. Questions ranged from coding, OS/networking to scalability/architecture. They made an offer a week later.
