Snap Phone Interview
What to expect in the phone screening round? I looked at other posts but could not gather much info. - One question with follow ups, multiple questions? - level of the questions? - are questions from LC Snap-tagged questions? It seems like it gonna be conducted over hackerrank and the invitation mentions a "collaborative coding interview" for 1 hour. ps: the role is for London not sure if it matters.
Are you in london right now?
Nope
My friend and I both got one question so I think it’s standard. It’s pretty hard, I’d say probably hard leetcode medium to leetcode hard level. And they expect running code so you’ll have to code it up fast, correctly, then code up tests.
Did you clear it?
I did but I failed the onsite. I didn’t actually get my code running for the phone screen though (it was done but I needed to code up a inner private class and hacker rank was complaining about it)
They asked me one question, leetcode hard, text justification problem
Did you clear it
That's helpful thanks, from small sample, it seems like they love asking hard questions
It depends on the interviewer unfortunately. There is no standard process.
Seems like my interviewer is 3-4 years experienced mobile developer, not sure if it is good or bad sign though.
It’s neither
I did this yesterday and got a leetcode medium
Good to know, was it for London office?
Update after long time: I got one bit manipulation plus 1 DP hard problem.
Curious. Is "Financial Services Company" the name of your employer?
Nope it's a Blind thing
@op you got DP hard in phone screen ?
Yes, one dp hard and easy warmup before that.
Any resources you recommend to study DP ?
Did you get offer eventually?
One question with multiple approaches Trade offs And then code
