I applied through university. I interviewed at Snap in May 2017
Interview
Standard Interview. The hiring process is VERY SLOW...... Lack of management in their HR and Talent department. HRs are ignorant and slow as hell. It seems they don't care about the candidates even they get an offer......
Hard but interesting. Had to go through 1 HM round, 2 coding rounds and 2 systems design rounds. Coding round was hit counter, and message recommendation system. The System design rounds were a bit challenging.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a recommendation system for messaging to predict the next word while typing
For the technical rounds, I was asked leetcode style questions. Need to practice Data structures and algorithms in order to do well on the interviews. It's important to explain the code as you go along and clarfiy any questions with the interviewer.
Interviewer is not good, has an accent and doesn’t point you in the right direction. Did not seem to be on your side the whole time. It was not a very nice experience.
