I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Pinterest (New York, NY)
Interview
I had to do a coding challenge. I did not advance past this stage despite answering the questions correctly. I wasn't given any sort of feedback on exactly what was wrong with my submission.
Interview questions [1]

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode 1564. Put Boxes Into the Warehouse I.
Follow up: what is maximum total box sizes.
Recruiter call, tech round, onsite and rejection call. They sent me an email about a week after the last onsite and asked me to schedule a call on the same day. I scheduled a call to listen 30 second long rejection notice. A half of interview rounds were horrible. Interviewers were not prepared and arrogant.
Good experience not the best outcome. Was 1000% sure I completed all coding and sys design but was told didn't get enough signal for the competency round. Overall very organized but not very satisfied with the response.
