I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Snap
Interview
1hr Technical (Leetcode) + 4 hr Virtual Onsite (2 Leetcode Rounds, ML System Design, ML Fundamentals/Theory), every interviewer asked a couple behavioral questions (summarize a project, team building). Recruiters were very responsive and all interviewers were very nice.

HR initial chat to talk about your experience
ML discussion about how ML model works and a coding exercise then there are more coding and ML theory and ML system design questions. The coding is less about leetcode more about ML coding with numpy

The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Snap (Santa Monica, CA) in Aug 2024

In overall interview process is ok. Expectations are very high even for low level positions. Made me think that they don’t actually intend on hiring anyone for position I applied.
