What Twilio employees have to say about interviewing?

"To be respectful of the applicant’s time, I don’t think the task should be inordinately time consuming or challenging... it should be something that comes naturally if you’re good at the job you’re applying for. You’re a UI/UX designer? Take 10 minutes and critique a site. You’re a web developer? Write a few lines of PHP code. Both of these tasks should be second nature for a skilled applicant."

"Highest consideration with be given to applicants who provide an innovative way for Twilio representatives to contact them by phone, using the Twilio API (free trial accounts available) and code that they’ve written."
