Interview Process
The interview consisted of two parts: technical and behavioral. The technical part included several coding questions related to data structures and algorithms, followed by design questions where I had to design a simple app feature and explain my approach to system design. The interviewers were approachable and provided hints when I got stuck, which helped ease the pressure. The coding was done on a shared platform, allowing me to demonstrate my thought process as I solved the problems. The behavioral part covered my past experiences, motivations for joining Snapchat, and how I would fit into their team culture. Overall, the process was thorough and well organized, and I enjoyed the conversations with the interviewers.
