I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Snap (Venice, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Bring your own computer and code up solutions. Best interview process ever. You will see about 5-6 people on the same day. Mine was on site in Venice which they flew me out to.

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.
