Had an initial chat with a hiring manager and then moved directly to onsite (which was 5 interviews across multiple teams - role was cross-functional). Each interviewer asked a unique set of questions based on how they typically interface with the PM.

Question 1
Can't disclose unfortunately. But lots of emphasis on past work experience
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Snap (Paris) in Apr 2024
Interview
The worst recruiting process I have had in my life! I got contacted 4 months after sending my application. The first interview was a friendly visio chat with an HR. After that, I was invited to a second interview (also visio) that would be technical with the hiring manager. It was supposed to be a live coding challenge to which I prepared very seriously. On the day of the interview, the hiring manager showed up one hour after the scheduled time. He said that the HR messed up with the timing. The interview turned out to be a discussion where I had to present myself, no live coding challenge... After that, I was invited to an onsite interview that was composed of 4 interviews in a row, starting at 09:00 am and finishing at 03:00 pm. This interview got rescheduled 4 times over a month, with less than a 48 hours notice each time. The 4 interviews were technical and extremely difficult with plenty of difficult and extremely trick questions (and I wonder why. It was completely disconnected from the reality of a day-to-day embedded software engineer life). At the end of the day, I knew I wouldn't get the job but I never received a feedback. Not even an automatic message.

Question 1
Explain what this function does to me (at the blackboard, without any support):
void func(char* a, char* b)
{
while(*a++ = *b++) {}
}
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Snap
Interview
The first round consisted of a remote technical interview that wants to determine whether the interviewer understands the basics. The second round consisted of a more in depth project and a behavioral interview.
