Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Snap (Austin, TX) nel mese di nov 2022
Colloquio
Recruiter call
Tech screen:
Asked React question, built a little game
Passed to on-site 5 rounds:
Rd 1: System Design: question was made up on the spot based on my experiences, made it hard to get defined answers
Rd 2: Technical: JS exercise around promises
Rd 3: Q&A, no feedback taken during this round.
Rd 4: System Design: Design part of Snapchat
Rd 5: Tech Exercise around string encoding and bite size.
Everyone was really kind and professional, the interviews were a bit adhoc which I both appreciated and disliked (they felt relevant and customized to me, but they were much less organized). Recruiter was the best I’ve ever had.
They announced a mandatory RTO as well.
Got middling feedback two days after last round no offer. Pretty sure I lost it on communication abilities to discern info, wish I would’ve spoken slower and listened more.

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.

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.
