I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Snap in Jan 2023
Interview
I met with a recruiter who was not very responsive, was told I’d do a phone screen where we’d do some React coding. Met with my phone screener who was very kind and nice to talk to, but the question was not related to React. Also, I had a question for the recruiter who said they’d get back to me, after a follow up email, they didn’t answer the question but just sent the rejection template. Not very professional from the recruiting side.

Question 1
Implement Promise.all() from scratch, but I was told we’d be building a React component by the recruiter. I wasn’t read up on Promises at the time, so I was admittedly flustered, and failed.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Snap in Feb 2025
Interview
It's pretty standard, 1 round of screening followed by a main round of 4 rounds booked closely together. I had two front-end rounds, two algorithmic rounds, and one system design round.
Interestingly, they had a behavioral portion for every technical round. I don't think I've ever had that before.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Snap (Los Angeles, CA) in Sept 2019
Interview
Video call with a code pen exercise that was relatively simple. It took an hour and the interviewer was nice and easy to talk to. He let me ask him whatever questions I needed and I was allowed to use google for documentation.
