Process
I was asked a partial front-end question where they wanted me to get information from an API, organize it, and then display the data.
The interviewer was not very communicative; it felt a bit awkward.

Snap Work Experiences
5.0
Top compensation and good work-life balance
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Santa Monica, California, United States
February 12, 2021
Pros: Snap has solid compensation for Software Engineers and good WLB across many teams.
Juniors often get more responsibility in a smaller team.
Cons: Faster velocities. Engineering standards are probably a bit looser due to smaller company size and more junior ownership.

DON'T Come Here
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Venice, California, United States
March 24, 2018
Pros: Good pay for new grads, but don't believe in the stocks. Basically, they're trash, and the vesting process is very tricky. There is no guarantee that you can vest them all. There's a high chance you'll be forced to leave the company within four years.
Cons: 1. Immature management level.
2. No transparency.
3. The engineering team is a "second-class" citizen in this company.
4. The culture is "accept it or you shut up and leave."

Pros: Free lunch, smart coworkers, small teams.
Cons: There was employment uncertainty due to economic conditions, and the work is busy depending on the team.
