iOS Interview @ Snap
Anyone know what the current iOS eng interviews look like for Snap? When I was talking to recruiters a few years ago, they mentioned it would be a small project you’d work on (remotely) with multiple eng over the course of a day. Is it back to LC now? Also is it possible to interview as generalist even if most of your experience is in iOS dev? #interview #snap

👀 thanks for the heads-up, didn’t hear about this
2-3 coding rounds, leetcode style. 1-2 mobile sys design rounds depending on level. Every round asks behavioral questions. Think of stories for times you were Smart, Kind, and Creative at work.
Any examples of mobile system design questions, or suggestions to prep?
I did their initial phone screen about a year ago and it was a 45-minute interview with one of their iOS Engineer. It was 1 LC Medium and I failed badly 😂
> Also is it possible to interview as generalist even if most of your experience is in iOS dev? Yes you can ask for it.
I wish it was that, for Android it's just been generic eng interview: coding, sys design (mobile focused), and behavioral. The companies that actually do the small project approach have been a way better interview experience and I've crushed those...
Tbh I kind of disagree… I feel like it’s much more unstructured if you’re doing a project. You never know exactly what the interviewer is expecting and small things like code style preferences or subjective design choices can cost you the interview…
