I interviewed for MLE positions. After screen (leetcode), i had 4 on-site interviews. 2 ML system designs, 2 leetcode interviews. In general, the experience is very positive, all engineers/managers i met are very professional and polite.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Snap in May 2024
Interview
Too slow, and lots of back and forth before I had my first interview. The first interview only lasted 10 minutes, and no difficult questions were asked. It was cool that they presented the budget for the role though.

Interview
It started with an initial phone screening which would then be followed by a 'build a complete game in 30 minutes' level which recruiter mentioned would not be a technical interview but just an understanding of the game engine software. Both of these stages had difficulty as I was stood up by the initial recruiter twice before the actual first call. The second time because an internal meeting had been scheduled over my time at the last moment. After finally making it to the 'build a game' section, I was told by my recruiter to use a specific game engine which I did. I used it so and built what was asked, and it seemed my interviewer for the game section had no knowledge over the game engine and judged me according to different workflows. I kept being asked to do things closer to an actual technical interview which I could've prepped for were instructions clear. All in all, I believe this process to be reflective of the way the company and department operates and I would have to not recommend.
