Process
I was selected for an interview.
It began with a call with a recruiter, but the call was more about explaining the process than cutting any candidates. I would be able to talk about my work history, what I want to do at Snap, and why.
I then had an online coding interview with an engineer.

Snap Work Experiences
- 4.0Great Food, Long HoursSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesSeptember 7, 2025Pros: Good food and amenities while on the clock.Cons: Long hours and little work-life balance.
- 3.0Nice community, brutal managementSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeSeptember 29, 2023Pros: Fellow employees are nice. It's an international company, so it's always cool to meet and visit people from other countries. Benefits are cool, like catering and other perks. You kind of get to see what it's like to work in a big company.Cons: The company is not doing that well, so any "new projects" are doomed to be suddenly dropped in favor of the core business. You have to accept that management tries to portray a good image of themselves with nice words, but they will lay entire offices off without even blinking. Any stock-based compensation is essentially useless as the stock price is low, and stocks vest after at least 2 years, so you are "rewarded" but then you lose them if and when you are laid off.
- 5.0Pretty cool companySoftware Developer • Former EmployeeLos Angeles, California, United StatesJune 28, 2018Pros: Money, Community, Difficulty, Mission, Beat Zuckerberg It's a very high-paying opportunity, and you get to work with smart people.Cons: Stress difficulty programming late can be hard. It's a very good company, but can be stressful and difficult.
