I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Snap (Vienna) in Mar 2024
Interview
First is HR call (half an hour), about company, what the team is responsible for, visa sponsorship.
Then technical interview with the manager (go through the CV, almost 1 hour), asking the details about the previous projects.
After that will be live code test in Hackran. Leetcode data structure and algorithm.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What might cause the segmention fault error and how to provent it?
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.

Question 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.
