I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Snap in Jun 2016
Interview
Asked a project in my resume. I just described my project, and he didn't follow up, and no question or challenge for my project.
Then he sent me a link on google hangout, which is for codepair.
Codepair is pretty much like a sublime editor, and in the comment area, you can discuss with the interviewer, and in the code edit area, you write the code, and compile, and run. You have to get the expected answer, then he would follow up.

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.
