Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Snap (Santa Clara, CA) en nov 2018
Entrevista
The phone interview was conducted through Google Hangout. The question is quite simple, but the interviewer would ask you for refactoring and follow his coding style to 'optimize' the code. Damn, it is algorithm screening interview, not code review.

In a matrix consisting of '1' and '0'. '1' is walkable and '0' is blocked. Give you a start point and an end point, ask you how many steps you can reach end point from the start point.
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.
