Interview
Recruiter reached out to me for an Account Executive role. Had a preliminary interview with the recruiter and a 1:1 Group Director/VP level person. After those, there was 4 hours of interviews which were a mix of 6 different account managers/executives, including one interview where you were given a task to present a deck you built based on a certain media planning scenario.
Overall, interview process is extremely long and needs to be shortened to be considerate of interviewee's time, especially if they are currently employed. I also asked the recruiter for feedback when I was not given an offer despite making it to the last round and they said they were not allowed to which made it feel like a complete waste of time. I also had to follow up several times after getting ghosted and turned down.

General media industry questions, the future of Snap, optimizations and campaign management, people leader questions
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Snap in Oct 2025
Interview
Passed initial HR screening, and interviewed with the Sales Director.
She was completely unprepared and seemed uninterested. Didn't ask anything concrete, and then I got a generic rejection.
When I asked the interviewer what I got disqualified over, I was told it was over something that I wasn't even asked about.
Completely unprofessional and unserious.
1 phone screen with recruiter, 1 interview with a hiring manager then a panel interview. Was pretty straight forward and the recruiter kept me in the loop the whole process. Took about 3 weeks.

Question 1
Why Snap? And typical behavioral interview questions.

Interview
Had a recruiter reach out to me suggesting an interview. Although I wasn't actively looking, I was keen on exploring the opportunity as Snap sounded like a cool company.
I had a quick intro call with the recruiter. She was 5 min late (didn't apologise or anything) and the chat itself seemed quite scripted. She would as a next step invite me in for a call with another Account Executive. I then waited a few days and just received an invite, with no context, agenda or anything. I scheduled the call with the Account Executive. He was nice and we chatted for 30 min about the roles, challenges and opportunities. A few days after I get a generic rejection mail.
So to the people at Snap (hopefully) reading this:
1. When you have a personal engagement with candidates you reject them on the phone. Especially when you reached out in the first place.
2. Do a little extra around the process. Set your candidates up for success. The whole thing was somewhat of a black box.
3. Your candidate experience is an indicator of how it is to be an employee and your recruiter didn't sell the job, the organization and the likelihood of me continuing to be a Snap user.
