Interview Process
I had my onsite interview with Snapchat for the position of iOS Software Engineer. The interview was divided into multiple parts. The first section was a technical coding round, where I was asked to solve two problems on a whiteboard.
After the coding rounds, I had a systems design interview where I was asked to design a messaging application. I discussed the architecture, databases, and scaling considerations.
Finally, I had a behavioral interview where the interviewer asked about my previous experiences and how I work in a team. Overall, I felt the interview went quite well!
