Process

After being reached out to, I set up a phone screen.

It was a pretty standard technical screen, with a question involving a Trie. I would classify it as medium-hard to hard.

The interviewer had an accent but was very intelligent and helped me think through the problem. You had to write code that could be compiled.

I was told I would be moving forward the next day. Snapchat loves to move quickly.

You are set up at a very nice hotel, and they cover everything, including providing you with some cash. Their office is on the beach, so it's really nice.

The onsite consists of four interviews. The interviewers, except for one, were great to talk to and very intelligent.

The questions were also really unique, and I felt like they actually had real-world implications. The types of questions you see online associated with Snapchat are very similar to the ones I received.

Definitely study up on your data structures and algorithms.

I received my offer the next weekday after my onsite.
