Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Snap (Venice, CA)
Colloquio
No schedule was provided and I didn't know when the process was suppose to end.
The coordinator said a computer will be provided, but nobody knew anything about it. Luckily I brought mine.
They asked a lot of algorithms questions, which are nice, if you just got out of college. A dev who's not doing this on a day to day basis is obviously going to fail unless they prepare and/or read the book. What can you learn about the actual work a candidate does if you're only asking college level questions.
I first refused to interview to avoid these types of questions and was assured by the recruiter that won't be the case. Then 3 out of 4 people who interviewed me asked uncomfortable and not so fun to solve on a piece of paper kind of questions, which I never do at my actual job.
You don't get to meet the team, or see where they'll work and definitely can't get a feel for the culture. I was stuck in an interrogation room (literally, with cellphone blockers and a little window to the hall) for 6 hours. That did not make me want to work for Snap.
They send a generic rejection email.
I'm fine with not getting the job, it wasn't a good fit on my end as well, especially after a bad interview process. However the rejection email was the worst part. The recruiter pushed pretty hard after me refusing to interview, and when I finally accepted - the phone and the on-site interviews went the exact opposite of what he assured me will not happen. And after all that - I don't even receive a phone call or a personal email, just a copy-paste generic text asking me not to ask for feedback.
Disrespectful.

I was asked some random edge case questions about the language. Only 1 person actually asked me relevant questions and asked me to write real code

Colloquio
Several weeks ago, I was contacted by a recruiter and offered an interview. We agreed on scheduling a call for Tue, May 10, 2022 @10 am, and both confirmed. No one called or emailed me. My follow-up emails were completely ignored.
phone screen. Recruiter contacted me through Linkedin and I got connected with the hangout call. It started from usual introduction and then we got jump right into the LRU cache implementation questions.

Colloquio
For my initial technical interview, the interviewer insisted on a live, two-way video chat with a shared coding session. While this creeped me out, I agreed to try it. Unfortunately I did not have sufficient bandwidth to support that and said so, but he did not want to turn off the video feed and switch to audio-only. In fact, the idea made him visibly angry. So he aborted the interview abruptly. This was unprofessional conduct in my opinion and smacks of entitlement. Thus I would say Snap has "interview smell" i.e. something is wrong with their mindset.

Why do you want to shut off the video feed? Don't you know I am entitled to see you?
