      Software Engineer Interview

      6 Jul 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Snap (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      I can't disclose the question details, but I can say that one of the questions I got was extremely hard. This is the type of question that basically requires you to have seen it before. Even though overall I think I did well in the other interviews, I bombed that question, which I think was the main reason I didn't get an offer, but I didn't feel bad because I wouldn't have been able to solve it even if I studied more. As someone who regularly interviews others from the other side of the table, I don't believe in super hard questions. You might get geniuses or those lucky enough to have done them, but you really end up losing a lot of good candidates. Another problem was lunch interview. Yes! Lunch is an interview. I didn't know it before and it was a surprise when I thought I was going to relax and recharge in between the interview marathons, but ended up being told that lunch was also used as behavioral interview. (At first I thought my lunch buddy was joking) The format was awkward at best. The two people eat in turns so that one can answer questions while the other can eat. I suppose it makes sense for them to gather as much data as possible, but I didn't think any other positive data points was able to save me over the aforementioned tough question. And to compromise a normal lunch, is simply, a little too cruel. The people I've met from the interviews all seemed to like working at Snap (of course), but I'm doubtful if I'd want to work there even if I did get an offer. Having said that, I really enjoyed the design question with the manager. He seemed like a nice and positive guy, who showed genuine passion for his job and appreciation for my work during the interview.

      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.
