Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California
Process
A 60-minute coding challenge, which was pretty easy, followed by two video chat interviews.
Snap was very quick to respond. The process was very efficient and smooth.
The video chats both started with a little background on the engineer, as well as myself (e.g., tell me about a project). The last 5 minutes were left for questions for the engineer.

Snap Work Experiences
- 4.0Glassdoor is making me do thisSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeLos Angeles, California, United StatesOctober 28, 2020Pros: Good people. Solid benefits and balance.Cons: Some teams are working on things that aren't interesting.
- 1.0Kind Coworkers, Terrible LeadershipManager, Software Engineering • Current EmployeeLos Angeles, California, United StatesFebruary 24, 2023Pros: Competitive base salary. Stock price is currently in the single digits, so if you join now, there's a chance for upside. Good benefits. Many coworkers are genuinely kind and helpful people.Cons: Incompetent senior leadership team that takes no responsibility for their decisions, which have now impacted the revenue of the business and the plummeting stock price. There is no work/life balance. They took a total 180 on supporting remote work and then flip-flopped a few months later to require RTO 4 days/week with insufficient notice. The review/bonus structure is laughable. All-hands meetings are heavily scripted and used to gaslight employees.
