I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Snap (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2018
Interview
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.

Question 1
You don't have to run your code and you can stop now, do you have any question for me before we end this interview?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Snap (Santa Monica, CA)
Interview
Interview process was about a month. I had 3 calls before on site. In person interview was with 3 people, 30 min each. Everyone I spoke to was warm, friendly and smart. The recruiter was responsive through the entire process.
The recruiter reached out to me about a position and I responded back on when I would be available. No response from her and after a week I followed up again. Still no response and don't understand why a recruiter would reach out to you and then ghost you without ever talking to you.
