I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Snap in May 2022
Interview
Went through the screen and virtual onsite. Most interviewers are extremely technical and are pretty bad communicators. They don't seem very engaged with the product and they have a very academic understandings of ML. Recruiters were hard to get a hold of and unclear about expectations. Not surprised their company isn't doing well.
The interview process for the ML position at Snap was pretty straightforward. It included a mix of machine learning fundamentals and algorithm/LeetCode-style coding questions. Overall, the interviewers were professional and the process was well organized.
