I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Snap in Apr 2022
Interview
The over all process was great, my recruiter was extremely transparent and you can really see Snap's values in every step of the process. If they like you they will move at your speed for the process which is great.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Situational questions such as "tell me about a time when..." and they were looking for answers in the STAR's method.
Simple scenario questions to gauge how you think and would solve problems such as "If you were going to capture data regarding app usage, what data points would you measure and why".
first round, waiting for the second round. In total should be 2-3 technical, and 1 behavioral interview. Overall, the communication atmosphere is great, and the first round is not that hard. Wish all the best for the second round.

Question 1
Implement a special queue containing a linked list as its inner data structure.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Snap
Interview
Had a recruiter reach out to me suggesting an interview. Although I wasn't actively looking, I was keen on exploring the opportunity as Snap sounded like a cool company.
I had a quick intro call with the recruiter. She was 5 min late (didn't apologise or anything) and the chat itself seemed quite scripted. She would as a next step invite me in for a call with another Account Executive. I then waited a few days and just received an invite, with no context, agenda or anything. I scheduled the call with the Account Executive. He was nice and we chatted for 30 min about the roles, challenges and opportunities. A few days after I get a generic rejection mail.
So to the people at Snap (hopefully) reading this:
1. When you have a personal engagement with candidates you reject them on the phone. Especially when you reached out in the first place.
2. Do a little extra around the process. Set your candidates up for success. The whole thing was somewhat of a black box.
3. Your candidate experience is an indicator of how it is to be an employee and your recruiter didn't sell the job, the organization and the likelihood of me continuing to be a Snap user.
