Snap interview questions

First conversation was with the recruiter, who did a cursory screen to make sure your background makes sense and the parameters of the job (location, salary, basic requirements) are aligned. They spend a lot of time talking through the unique benefits of working at Snap, and do a good job of getting you excited. Then you talk to the Hiring Manager. This is a 45 minute conversation and varies widely by the manager's style and preferences. Mine was very light on content (although a couple of hard hitting questions focused on business analysis). Instead there was more focus on past experiences, motivations, and interest in the role. After that you go to the panel, which is 5 different people either in the group you're interviewing for, or something adjacent. Each person has a specific attribute they're testing for. But these are not hard hitting interviews, more of get to know you's and wanting to understand if you're a good fit for Snap the team. Lastly, I was interviewed by the most senior manager of the team (in my case CFO). This felt cursory and to approve the hire itself. I had one last call with the hiring manager to confirm my interest, ask a few additional questions about how we might work together.

The whole process actually went pretty fast and I got to the last interview rounds: - 30 minute phone call with recruiter - 30 minute video interview with hiring manager - 1 hr 30 minute video interview with three different people in the team I thought I vibed well with the team but ultimately did not receive an offer.
