I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Snap (Pittsburgh, PA) in Sep 2016
Interview
Firstly, ask some questions about the resume, it took about ten minutes, then, ask a algorithm question, wrote code on google doc. The question is that given a XML file, translate the XML file into a tree, return the root of the tree.

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.

Question 1
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.
