I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2020
Interview
1. Recruiter Call
2. Hiring manager call
3. Technical Phone Interview
4. Virtual Onsite that consisted of 4 technical interviews and half an hour of behavioral with the hiring manager
5. Follow up Coding interview after the onsite because they couldn't make a decision
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-Leetcode style questions but more practical ranging from easy to medium, and one harder design based one
-System design
-Domain specific questions (web performance, systems/networking)
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.
1st round technical phone screening with in 1 hour.
One follow up question was asked.
The problem was not too hard, but it requires you finish really fast without bugs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode 1564. Put Boxes Into the Warehouse I.
Follow up: what is maximum total box sizes.
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.
