CV shortlisting : Total 70 students applied from all the three branches of circuital(CSE, ECE and EE) for internship in Snapdeal as a product analyst role .As Snapdeal came very late for the internship program, there was a remote process for which initial round was CV shortlisting round and all the interviews were conducted via Skype . Around 20 students were shortlisted . What they have seen in CV were the key words include SQL, Tableau and excel etc . Around 3 interviews were conducted . The last one is the HR round . All interviewers are very supportive although the Skype interview is not very good as compared to face to face interview from my point of view. Round 1:(50min) I was asked about my CV and a brief introduction . 5 minutes given for all the details candidate wants to tell the interviewer . As i have done a project on R the interviewer asked the questions related to R language . some of the questions were :- What are the different data types used in R language? How to convert model into database in R language? Different libraries i have used in my projects, i told him about ggtheme2 .The interviewer was impressed after knowing how many libraries i have used . I was also asked about the questions related to SQL . Some of the questions were as follows:- What are joins ? Why we use joins? They asked me a question related to inner join . It was a basic question where they wanted to know how much i know about the joins . He asked a simple question on union with example . After asking questions about my projects, the interviewer asked me to tell the pros and cons after viewing the first layout of the app snapdeal . I told him about the pros and cons for which the interviewer shifted to Android development part . After a long discussion about the app the interviewer asked me about what else i know about snapdeal like what is the difference between Snapdeal and Amazon ? Basically interviewer wants to know how much secondary knowledge we have about the company . Overall my Skype interview was good and total 9 students were shortlisted in this round . I was one of them. Round 2:(40min) The interviewer greeted me very politely . He also asked a few questions on my projects and extracurricular activities. The interviewer asked me about how much i will rate myself in SQL . I told him 7/10 and briefly explain all my projects related to MySQL . The interviewer asked me some technical questions on SQL . He gave me a sample set and asked 2 questions on inner join and outer joins. I answered them all . After this he wanted to know how much i know about product analyst job description . I told him what does product analyst do for which he didn't seem satisfied . He asked me various questions on click data stream analytics . I didn't have much knowledge about it so i was not comfortable much about that . At last, the interviewer asked if i have some questions for him . I asked him about the role . What more we need to learn ?He answered all the questions very politely. Overall my 2nd round was not good and total 4 students were shortlisted in this round . I wasn't one of them . Round 3:HR(20min) Q1) Tell me about yourself ? Q2) What do you think about does product analyst do ? Q3) Do you have any questions for us ? Out of 4, 3 students were selected for the internship program . Overall the interviewers were polite and good .The only drawback was Skype interview as it was comparable difficult with respect to face to face interview . The only thing i wanted to tell all the students to properly read the job description and about the role .

About Snapdeal Interview Reports
This question was reported by a candidate who interviewed at Snapdeal. LeakCode aggregates interview reports from 10+ sources, including 1Point3Acres, Glassdoor, LeetCode Discuss, Blind, Reddit, Indeed, and Nowcoder. Each report is translated where necessary, deduplicated against existing entries, and tagged by company, role, round type, and reporting date.
Use this question as one calibration data point, not a memorization target. Companies typically rotate their question pools every 2-4 months; the exact wording of a 2024 question may differ from what you encounter today. The underlying pattern, difficulty level, and follow-up depth at Snapdeal are the higher-signal extractions to take from this report.
For broader preparation context, the Snapdeal interview process typically includes a recruiter screen, one or two technical phone screens, and a 4-5 round on-site loop covering coding, system design (at L4+ levels), and behavioral. Reports tagged on LeakCode show the round-by-round distribution and typical difficulty calibration. To browse questions filtered by round type and seniority, use the company hub linked above.
How To Practice This Type of Question
Solve similar problems on LeetCode under timed conditions (25-35 minutes per medium difficulty). The goal is pattern recognition: recognize the underlying technique (sliding window, two-pointer, BFS, memoized recursion, etc.) within 60-90 seconds of reading. Strong candidates verbalize their hypothesis out loud before coding, then iterate based on feedback. Weak candidates dive into implementation immediately, lose time on the wrong approach, and run out of time for follow-ups.
Companies update their question pools every 2-4 months. The exact wording of any given question may have been retired by the time you interview. Focus your prep on the pattern, not the specific problem. The patterns that appear in Snapdeal reports consistently are the ones worth investing in; one-off niche problems are not.
During Your Snapdeal Round
Apply the standard interview round template: clarify requirements (2-3 minutes), state your approach out loud and confirm direction with the interviewer (3-5 minutes), code with narration (15-25 minutes), test with concrete examples including edge cases (5 minutes), discuss optimization or trade-offs if time permits (5 minutes). This template is universally accepted across FAANG and adjacent companies; deviating from it produces weaker interviewer feedback signal.
The single most predictive failure mode in Snapdeal reports tagged "no hire": not asking clarifying questions. Interviewers are explicitly trained to weight this. Strong candidates ask 3-5 clarifying questions even on problems that look obvious; weak candidates dive into code immediately. The clarifying-question check is often the first signal recorded in the interviewer's written notes.
