J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Snap en janv. 2018
Entretien
Reached out by recruiter via LinkedIn, had phone screening organised. They're different to other company's phone screens as they require you to video interview on Google Hangouts and show your face, as well as requiring your code to compile. My interviewer was very friendly and nice, who seemed to be geniunely happy working at Snapchat and recommended the workplace very much to me. After my interview I was reached out by the recruiter again asking where I'd like to work at and when I'll be graduating, I thought it meant I was moving on to the on-site but since then I've been completely ghosted by my recruiter (for over a month now) despite emailing politely for any updates. I wish I was at least sent a rejection/thank you email but they kept me hanging for a whole fortnight before I gave up trying to contact my recruiter.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Literally asked to implement doubly linked list, but the fact it was generic type and had to compile made it harder than usual I suppose
J'ai passé un entretien chez Snap (Santa Monica, CA)
Entretien
Hard but interesting. Had to go through 1 HM round, 2 coding rounds and 2 systems design rounds. Coding round was hit counter, and message recommendation system. The System design rounds were a bit challenging.

Question 1
Design a recommendation system for messaging to predict the next word while typing
For the technical rounds, I was asked leetcode style questions. Need to practice Data structures and algorithms in order to do well on the interviews. It's important to explain the code as you go along and clarfiy any questions with the interviewer.
Interviewer is not good, has an accent and doesn’t point you in the right direction. Did not seem to be on your side the whole time. It was not a very nice experience.
