Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Snap (Seattle, WA) em jun. de 2024
Entrevista
Recuiter reached out to me, asked me about my background. Originally applied for software engineer II since I had over three 3 years of experiences but recuiters lower it to one because she believe I did not have enough experience with scaling enterprise level system.
First interview round was with an engineer. I got asked a behavioral question follow by a leetcode hard problem afterwards. It was huge difficulty from the getgo. You really need to prep for months to have a decent shot. I grinded leetcode for just 3 weeks and got destroyed as a result.
Solve this impossible leetcode hard problem that involves figuring out an alogrithms that can crack any RSA encryption in O(1) time.
All jokes aside, it was a question about topological sorting. You have to find manager and employees given a list of their names and ids and print them out in a pyramid sideway pyramid.

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.

Pergunta 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.
