45 min call and the manager was nice. The interview itself was very technical, about various situations covering mechanical design and structural design. It felt very intense and kind of a constant grilling type of interview but honestly all pretty fair questions. Nothing too out of reach
The interviewer was not helpful and respectful. Watching the other screen and doing something else all the time. Asked one behavior question needed follow STAR strictly, and one hard question.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Snap (Santa Monica, CA)
