I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Snowflake (San Mateo, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
I met the company representatives at the career fair and submitted my resume there. I then received a follow up email in 3 weeks time requesting an initial phone interview with a recruiter where we chatted about my interests and career plans. This was followed up by two difficult technical interviews which over Skype which involved coding and multiple rounds and discussions over possible flaws and optimizations. The process was sped up to fit into a period of 9 days since I had an offer pending from another company.

Question 1
Signed an NDA. Cannot disclose the exact questions but they involved data structures and dynamic programming.
Asked for an intern willing to write in "x" language, OA languages were limited in test environment, a bit unfortunate/hard to prepare for that scenario in my opinion, would have liked more options on the OA screen.
Recruiter reached out to me for a phone interview, which went well and the recruiter was very helpful. The next round was with an RVP who was late to the interview, asked some weird questions like who are you, nothing about my experience and kept looking at his phone throughout the interview when I was answering. Really condescending because he came across as unprepared and didn’t know what role I was interviewing for. Kept asking what role I am interviewing for, which was annoying. Pathetic experience.
