The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Segment (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
Has 3 rounds of interviews but only made it to the second one. First one is a meet and greet with the recruiter and discussions about the role and what you will be applying to. Second one is with the hiring manager for the role to dicuss a bit about your skills and things you've done related to the role. Then after that they give you a take home assignment.
Everything was ok until the take home assignment which is way more than the supposed 4 hours it is supposed to take. I had to create basically a flickr library with the android platform and a lot of the documentation on it was really vague and not clear on how the library functions. In the end, I told segment that I couldn't complete their task at hand (still had some committed code for them to see on github) and they decided to ghost me...
To the interviewer I'd recommend giving candidates something they can actually complete and actually try doing it yourself so you know it's realistic. Assignments are supposed more simplistic than an entire full fledge app...
standard phone screening rounds, followed by virtual onsite round for several hours.
Then GHOSTED. No feedback .
I have interviewed at several places, some places got an offer, at others been rejected, but haven't seen such behavior, where the company puts such a huge thrust on values, and dont follow their own values. Twilio claims "Be Bold" as how they win. No boldness however in completing the process.
Speaks volumes of they would treat their employees.
Please AVOID everyone

Question 1
standard value questions, which they seem to not follow themselves.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Segment in Jun 2021
Interview
Got reached out by a recruiter and had the usual 15 min phone screen. The next step was to have an one hour technical with an engineer. Went to next round, which was talking to a hiring manager for 30 mins. Next, the onsite was 4 rounds which took about 5 hours. THEN GHOSTED...... no response from the recruiter for three weeks and counting. Even if it's a rejection, I would like to have known, just for mutual respect in the time spent to prepare for all the rounds.....
