I applied online. I interviewed at Snap (London, England)
Interview
I only had an HR call where they explained the role and the team they're hiring for, then asked me about my work experience. I was not contacted after that.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Snap (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2019
Interview
One of the worst companies (close to Airbnb) when hiring (questionwise).
Their code questions are not meaningful. Their interviewers are young and inexperienced so they will ask the hardest question they find in leetcode. That mean that if you get hired you will be working with few very smart people and many lucky people who were lucky to review those problems before.
You can see why Google, Facebook or Amazon are the best on hiring process. Their questions are hard but they not that hard that can not be completed if you have never seen the problem before.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic calculator III
Leetcode 772
Just a matter of parsing, executing symbols and recursive call the function when (). However, if you have never done this problem, comming up with a working code for the first time in 45 min, without a real debugger, becomes impossible.
If you are lucky enough to have practiced it on leetcode, you will produce the code in no time.
That's the people Snapchat is hiring....
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Snap (New York, NY) in Jan 2018
Interview
The first round is a phone screen along with a coding challenge. They actually had an event before this to introduce everyone to Snapchat. After that there is an onsite interview.
