      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      21 Oct 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Snap

      Interview

      I don't generally post but this was such a negative experience I thought it needed to be placed on a public forum. My initial interview with the hiring manager was scheduled incorrectly, and the scheduling team did not respond to me about the link until 4 minutes before the interview. They told me it was sent to my calendar, and it never was. Nevertheless, I had a great first interview with the hiring manager, and I actually was extremely optimistic. Second interview was much more difficult scheduling-wise. I sent my schedule, but I did not hear back from the team for a week. I reached out 3x to see what the issue was, and when I finally heard back, they had scheduled over a time I was no longer able to attend. I reached out to them multiple times to inform them that I was no longer able to attend, and they responded at exactly the time of my interview to tell me it had been postponed. They rescheduled, but the link was incorrect, so no one on the team showed up until 10 minutes past the interview time. I presented for 10 minutes on myself and past projects with few questions. Afterward, I had several 1:1 interviews, and none of the interviewers were women. In previous roles, I have been told always to have an under-represented group on the interview panel as it highlights the need for the interviewees to be inclusive. Honestly, this operated the opposite way, and all of the interviewers telling me that they had no work/life balance reinforced that sentiment. Overall the process undervalued my time, my cross-functional abilities, and my interpersonal skills, and it overvalued knowledge that can be researched online.

      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Snap (Los Angeles, CA)

      Interview

      45 min call and the manager was nice. The interview itself was very technical, about various situations covering mechanical design and structural design. It felt very intense and kind of a constant grilling type of interview but honestly all pretty fair questions. Nothing too out of reach
