Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Snap (Melbourne) en sept 2016
Entrevista
The first round is online interview by Goolge hangouts and CodePair. An interviewer will ask you a technical question and you should write your code in CodePair. If you passed the first round, then they will invite you to the second round. This round will take about 5-6 hours. Don't worry, they will provide you a lunch. There will be 4-5 technical questions are waiting for you. Same as online interview. They will ask you to write the code in CodePair. Each time, there will be 1-3 team members who will ask you one technical question, sometimes they may add more conditions or ask you do it in a more general way if you solve it. Most of them are related to algorithm and basic data structures. There will be about one hour for each question. One of them is system design. Given a real scenario for Snapchat product, you are expected to design the interface for it.
One of the team member will bring you to have lunch. During the lunch, he may ask you some questions, like why you would like to join Snapchat. I am not sure if this is a personality test.
Basically, the team are very nice. It's a good experience. However, you may be rejected for 'not a perfect match' and they refuse to give you any reason.

5 questions in total. 4 technical questions related to algorithm and data structures and 1 system design question.
Hard but interesting. Had to go through 1 HM round, 2 coding rounds and 2 systems design rounds. Coding round was hit counter, and message recommendation system. The System design rounds were a bit challenging.

Design a recommendation system for messaging to predict the next word while typing
For the technical rounds, I was asked leetcode style questions. Need to practice Data structures and algorithms in order to do well on the interviews. It's important to explain the code as you go along and clarfiy any questions with the interviewer.
Interviewer is not good, has an accent and doesn’t point you in the right direction. Did not seem to be on your side the whole time. It was not a very nice experience.
