About 7 months ago I interviewed at Twitter, making it through two phone interviews before failing to solve some tricky algorithms questions in the on-site interview. Recently a Twitter recruiter contacted me on Linkedin looking for referrals and I sent him my resume, only to be told that they were looking for people with more experience, despite significantly more relevant experience on my resume.

Is the BigCo interview process just that arbitrary?

"Hey we're looking for people. Just not you."

That's some cold shit.

Right? There was the obligatory 'we're keeping your resume on file', but that didn't make it sting any less.
