Interview Process
I applied for the position through the Snapchat careers page and was contacted for an onsite interview after a few weeks. The interview process consisted of a technical question round, a behavioral round, and a system design round.
In the technical round, I was asked a few coding questions on topics such as data structures and algorithms. The interviewer asked me to solve a problem involving arrays and strings. After that, we discussed the time and space complexity of my solution.
The behavioral round focused on my previous experiences and team dynamics. They asked about my contributions to past projects and how I handle conflicts in a team setting.
In the final system design round, I was tasked with designing a scalable notification system for the app. We discussed various components such as database choice and load balancing. Overall, the interview experience was positive, and I felt that the interviewers were genuinely interested in my thought process and solutions.
