• Discuss your background and why you want to apply.
• General screening to ensure you're a good fit.

Onsite (4 Coding Interviews, 1 Lunch Interview - System Design)

• I really enjoyed these interviews; everyone on the team is super smart and friendly.
• Expect graph, string, array, and DP questions, with 10-15 minutes per coding interview dedicated to behavioral aspects.

I interviewed at Snap in Toronto (Bitmoji office).

I interviewed at Snap last week in Toronto. Everyone was super pleasant and professional. The process was smooth, and I was completely aware of my standing in the interview process at all times. The team responded promptly whenever I had questions.

Unfortunately, I stumbled under interview pressure and did not pass. The questions ranged from medium to hard LeetCode difficulty. All were ones I hadn't seen in practice but could be reasonably solved with good general problem-solving skills and collaboration with the interviewer. I brute-forced one solution and didn't achieve optimal solutions for another. However, I was very impressed by everyone. Hopefully, I can reapply in a couple of months after brushing up on my skills, as this is a place I would want to work.
