Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Snap (Seattle, WA) em abr. de 2018
Entrevista
The interview questions is a hard-level question in leetcode but not unsolvable. The interviewer almost not talkign the entire time showing no interest of the candidate. After solving the problem, the interviewer doesn't ask to run the code but instead asking if have any question for him so he can finish the interview even when there's still time left for the interview.
Get a response within two days saying they don't find a match for the position. This seems to be the same experience for many others in the last few months after Snap went to IPO, especially as they start the laying off process.
The advice is don't apply for snapchat if you have other opportunities. They intend to ask the hard-level question and not intend to really hire generic engineer unless you are a special need for them. I have heard from an internal engineer that their recruiter has asked them to make the question harder so they have a better reason to reject the candidate. Overall, an awful company to apply.

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.

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.
