Interview Process
I had an onsite interview with Snapchat for the Software Engineer position. The interview spanned two days, with several technical rounds and a behavioral interview.
Day 1: The first round was purely technical. I was asked to solve two coding problems on a whiteboard and explain my thought process. The problems involved data structures and algorithms.
Day 2: The second day included a system design round, where I was asked to design a feature for the app. I discussed scalability and various architectural choices. Finally, I had a behavioral round to assess cultural fit.
Overall, the interview experience was challenging but insightful. I appreciated the focus on both technical skills and soft skills.
