I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Snap in Mar 2022
Interview
Five interviews in which the questions were designed to complement one another. The goal was to complete a small project during these five interviews. Started with reading data from a JSON, then sorting the data, creating tests, etc.

Question 1
How to sort a list of object based on two attributes.
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.
