I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Snap in Jun 2023
Interview
I had an interview experience with Snap twice: in 2020 and in 2023. And in both times, I got just ghosted by the recruiters in the middle of the process. In 2023, I was already preparing for onsite interview when they just stopped responding me. It’s a disrespect to interviewees and their times. I will never agree to spend any minute of my life for this company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions around CS fundamentals and easy LC questions.
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.

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.
