      Data Scientist Interview

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Snap (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      5 rounds face to face interview with their team in sf. Mainly focused on their product. As I am a new grad and concentrated on ml models, it seemed not a great fit with their need

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Snap in Feb 2024

      Interview

      Initial conversation with a recruiter, scheduled a technical screen. They canceled one day before, rescheduled for the next week. Next week, I joined the call, waited for 15 minutes and the interviewer just didn't show up! Eventually, they apologized and rescheduled again. Finally, had a screen last week, it went very well, questions were SQL and simple stats, easy level. It look them a week to get back to me only to inform me that I didn't pass. Such a waste of my time! I'd avoid this company honestly.
