J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Snap (Los Angeles, CA) en sept. 2018
Entretien
I had only 1 video interview, but I didn't sign any NDA, so I can post all details and this review might actually be useful.
In general, nothing interesting. They asked some unrelated questions about what I worked on and when one solution could be better than another. After wasting 30 minutes, I had only 30 minutes to solve the problem (I posted it below). They also expect that a candidate should have time to post the code on hackerrank and compile/run it there.
Of course I didn't solve it in time, I agreed that the interveiw was failed and finished it. But I was still curious what the solution was, after 2 hours I finally wrote a working code. I will post my solution below.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Given a target number and a single number, write a program to find the shortest path to calculate the target number by applying "+-*/" operations to the single number. No parentheses. For example, if we have target number=26 and single number=3 return 3 * 3 * 3 - 3 / 3.

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.
