Senior Software Engineer Examined Twitter's Hiring Process

🧵 The TL;DR

A senior software engineer was asked to take an hour-long HackerRank test with two Leetcode mediums and a Leetcode hard prior to talking to anyone, which is an unusual request. This recruitment strategy is likely intended to attract people who are willing to jump through hoops or even enjoy these challenges.
