I had an onsite interview for a Software Engineer position at Snapchat. The experience spanned several hours and included multiple rounds. Each round focused on different skills, including coding, system design, and behavioral questions.
Coding Round: I was given a problem to solve that required knowledge of arrays and hash tables. The interviewer asked me to implement a solution in real-time while discussing my thought process.
System Design Round: In this segment, I was tasked with designing a scalable system for handling video uploads. The interviewer probed deeper into my design decisions, asking about database choices and load balancing strategies.
Behavioral Round: Questions revolved around my previous projects, teamwork, and conflict resolution. They aimed to assess my problem-solving approach and how I fit within the team culture.
