Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 6 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Snap (Venice, CA) nel mese di nov 2015
Colloquio
The process consists of online code challenge, phone screen, full-day onsite. The process can move really quickly, but it was actually me who was slowing it down. Recruiters are prompt to respond and their communications are very concise and efficient. For all interviews, a candidate is expected to write code that actually compiles and works in a timely fashion, so speediness and accuracy are both important. There is a designated building only for interviews, so it is hard to feel the actual culture at Snapchat, but all interviewers seemed like kick-ass developers and pretty easy going. Also, they seemed very passionate about the company and the work they do. One of the interviewers described Snapchat as a rocket ship at this stage, which I believe many people (including me) can agree. The culture in the area around Snapchat (Venice beach) is quite interesting though.

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.
