I had a great experience interviewing for the Full-time Software Development Engineer position at Snapchat. The interview was divided into two parts: coding and system design. The coding section consisted of a couple of algorithm questions. One of them was regarding data structures and the other required a deep dive into algorithms involving sorting.
The system design part focused on scalability and performance. I was asked to design a simple scalable application, which allowed us to discuss different approaches and technologies that could be utilized. The interviewers were very encouraging and provided a lot of feedback throughout the interview.
Overall, it was a challenging but rewarding experience, and I felt that I showcased my skills well.
