I had 7 interviews with Segment for this position. It was great to meet the team, everyone I met was kind and respectful. I do think that 7 interviews was a little too much though. There was also a technical assignment that took up a lot of time.

Technical questions focused on Javascript and general coding questions, e.g. 'How do you iterate through an array vs how do you iterate through object attributes'. You need to know a bit about Javascript for this role, you will be tested on this with the take home technical assessment.

Colloquio
Was reached out to by a Segment recruiter. Overall a lengthy and thorough interview process spanning 6-8 weeks. Consisted of a phone screen by recruiter >> phone screen by hiring manager >> technical homework assignment >> technical homework assignment review + case study review. Next step would have been in person interviews + a presentation, followed by (I presume) an offer. I was ultimately rejected just before the in person round.
Everyone was friendly, helpful, forthcoming, and communicative. I received a lot of positive feedback throughout each round and on the technical assignment. My work experience is in a slightly different but adjacent industry, with a technical background. Assuming it was the real reason, I was disheartened to eventually get rejected for not having CDP experience (as that was obviously known from the start).The technical assignment was time consuming and required quite a deep dive in to their tech stack+documentation. Echoing what others have said they seem to be looking for someone who checks very specific boxes, over aptitude or diversity; and seem invested in spending/wasting a lot of time looking for that candidate. I even wondered how some of the interviewers passed their own interviews.
Segment seems like a great company to work for. If you plan to interview with just be prepared for a large time investment with the potential to be left scratching your head.
