Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a container class in C++ that contains arbitrarily nested lists, with an iterator.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Snowflake (Berlin) in Nov 2025
Interview
Makes you pass a test and never inform you of the results, it's a shame because the tests is lengthy, and it's taking time from you when you're searching for an internship, the least would be to inform of the non pursuit of the recrutment process
2 Technical Rounds, 1 Behavioral Round
The interview process went really well. Both technical interviewers were collaborative and asked great follow-up questions.
Technical rounds:
- LC Medium (both graph questions)
- Strong focus/emphasis on the approach (the "why"); Follow-up on alternative approaches and trade-offs.
- Asked to formulate test-cases

Question 1

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Snowflake (San Mateo, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Pretty tough. The OA was 3 lc hards consisting of dp/backtracking. Then I had 2 back to back technical which were once again lc hards and pretty challenging. The interviewers were also stone cold and distant throughout the technical portion but seemed nice at the end when I asked them questions. I'm now in team matching for Fall 2025 and hc is basically done is ig this is where my journey ends :(
