I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Snap in May 2022
Interview
Zoom interview with one individual; she was very sweet and seemed to advocate for my success. First was a basic get-to-know-you interview followed by a hackerrank interview based on coding questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is a previous project you worked on relevant to this position?
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.
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.

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.
