Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Snap nel mese di apr 2021
Colloquio
I've been invited for the first round (one hour) for a Software Security Engineer position in Switzerland which consisted of a presentation of the team and its work, then 30 minutes of questions (which to my surprise were about system design, which is not common for graduate students), and then 15 minutes in a coding question.
The interviewer was rather cold, not very friendly and I have not seen even one smile. So, pretty uncomfortable.
The coding question was leetcode easy.
I have not received any offer, the hiring team ghosted my emails asking for feedback.
I've felt a lack of humain from the beggining to the end.
Domande di colloquio [1]

What would be the security challenges when sending a snap to the backend, what information could be processed synchronously, asynchrounously, what could the API look like...
Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Snap (Santa Monica, CA)
Colloquio
Hard but interesting. Had to go through 1 HM round, 2 coding rounds and 2 systems design rounds. Coding round was hit counter, and message recommendation system. The System design rounds were a bit challenging.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Design a recommendation system for messaging to predict the next word while typing
For the technical rounds, I was asked leetcode style questions. Need to practice Data structures and algorithms in order to do well on the interviews. It's important to explain the code as you go along and clarfiy any questions with the interviewer.
Interviewer is not good, has an accent and doesn’t point you in the right direction. Did not seem to be on your side the whole time. It was not a very nice experience.
