I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Snap (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2021
Interview
HR screen and then a 1 hour tech screen. It moved fairly quick, got a reject a couple days later. I felt the screening question was not a fair test of the skills of a software engineer
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to implement an advanced probability question (a casino scenario). I felt that it didn't test my coding skills as much as did dynamic programming and math, not an accurate test.
Applied online and recruiter reached out 5 months later,
- Recruiter Call first
- Phone screen - 1hr with 1 coding question and continue with follow up coding questions, not typical leetcode style more like focusing on logical and maintainable
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1 coding question and continue with follow up coding questions to extend/ modify existing code, not typical leetcode style
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Snap in Jul 2025
Interview
1st round coding interview for ML engineer was a mix of my previous experiences and a typical LC medium question based on stacks which was pretty easy the interview was scheduled for one hour but ended in 30 minutes.
I interviewed for MLE positions. After screen (leetcode), i had 4 on-site interviews. 2 ML system designs, 2 leetcode interviews. In general, the experience is very positive, all engineers/managers i met are very professional and polite.
