Posting for OP since his post was taken down and account suspended for “Invasion of privacy”. Just took an interview with Twitter. Was interviewed by: an engineer (TD for anonymity) for a software engineering position. Was the most rude and unreasonable interviewer I have ever met in my 10+ years of Software Engineering Career. He asked me a problem for sending and receiving gifts from different people, each from a different family. I asked if he could write down the problem statement on hackerrank. He was snobbish and said “I’m not going to write it down for you”. No worries, I will try to write it down myself. Since there were so many details for problem statement and he didn’t pause between his sentences, I missed a critical detail and asked him to repeat. He was irritated and repeated a problem detail. Then, when I told him, there might be multiple solutions to his question, he told me that I was wrong and pointed out another critical detail (which I doubt he ever mentioned). At this point, I was pretty sure he was making up additional requirements on the spot. I told him that it might be easier and save time, if we could put the problem statement in writing. He got mad at me and said: “Are you f***ing serious? you are the first person who has the balls to say that to me”. “Are you f***ing serious? You are the interviewee, I am the interviewer” “Do you think this will work if Elon asked you to implement something?”. “You will write down what I say and implement it correctly” “I’m not going to do your work for you” “You will write down your interpretation of what I say!” “This is not a coding contest. It is an interview. 30% is how you solve the problem, 70% is how you communicate with me!” I told him, typically in contest problems they have a problem statement. He went on a rant that this isn’t how it works and how I would be a terrible fit for Twitter. I didn’t want to continue in the process and asked if we could end early. I followed up by sending a recruiter email withdrawing my application from Twitter. I felt pretty offended to be honest. Most of all I felt humiliated. I have never heard an interviewer curse so much during an interview. Is this what Twitter has turned into? This individual was apparently a senior manager in leadership roles @Tesla too. This really speaks to the company culture.
OP dodged the bullet. Any serious engineers won’t work for Elon these days
Maybe a few months into Elon’s reign at Twitter. At this point, it’s hard to be sympathetic to people still working for Musk. It’s just masochism or laziness at this point not to have moved on to something better.
I’m ex-Twitter (Cortex). My whole team was on visa and now working somewhere else, only one was laid off the rest of us quit. I can refer you at Meta. Staying at X is a choice
I know the interviewer, E bring a few Tesla eng to Twitter to take over. The interviewer is one of those guys( we call goons). Yeah, That's why we 1.0 twitter employee are leaving. The culture is shitty
Name and shame if that’s true
Yep their LinkedIn profile still shows them working at the other E company.
Yeah fuck Elon and his goons. Small dic energy is what I’m getting
This is on par for what Twitter is like these days. This place is going down the drain
That guy is current Twitter, present current Twitter shitty culture
What’s your reason to interview at Twitter? Just curious.
Makes me want to interview at Twitter and get this goon interviewer. I understand this is bad since I would be taking the place of a person out of the job.
Interviewer must be JM. Elmo close relative. The guy does not even understand basic maths and is a fawn of nepotism
True facts but it was TD not JM
I haven’t worked with him but feel AM is pretty good. Just being honest.
This BS should honestly be called out.
