Interview Process

I had my onsite interview at Snapchat for the iOS Software Development Engineer position. The day started with an introduction from the team. First, I was asked to solve a coding problem on an online editor, which was focused on manipulating arrays. After that, there was a system design round where I needed to design a feature similar to the stories function of Snapchat, including the database schema. Following that, I faced some behavioral questions about teamwork and handling conflicts. Overall, it was a challenging but rewarding experience. The interviewers were friendly and supportive throughout the process.
