Why did you leave your last job? Are you interested in this role? That kind of thing. Just double-checking fit.” **1 round, 1 question**. - [Software Engineer — Snowflake · Apr 2026](https://www.aced.io/experiences/snowflake-software-engineer-intern-interview-f47cfb?returnPath=%2Fguides%2Fsnowflake-software-engineer-interview%2Fexperiences): “OA is sent automatically to everyone who applies. Resume screening happens after. Questions are generally very difficult. The phone interview is done through AI, and asks you technical questions about your experience, projects, and challenges.” **2 rounds, 3 questions**. - [Software Engineer — Snowflake · Mar 2024](https://www.aced.io/experiences/snowflake-senior-software-engineer-interview-72abf5?returnPath=%2Fguides%2Fsnowflake-software-engineer-interview%2Fexperiences): “It was a very typical FAANG interview style. The coding questions are all very leet-code, so it's easy to practice. The design question was unique; I hadn't heard of it before. Not that not all engineers use a question from the internal question bank, but generally speaking it's fine. For system design, be sure to bank-of-envelope to justify why something needs to be a distributed system. Your approach might be overkill / underkill without doing this initial analysis, and you might come off as \"just regurgitation sys-design interview formula\".” **2 rounds, 2 questions**.
