I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pinterest
Interview
They hire a third party company called Karat to perform a 1-hour video coding interview.
The interviewer stressed that a complete solution was of utmost importance and not necessarily how it was implemented. I got mixed up on one part but the interviewer wasn't giving me any pointers despite me describing my thought process along the way. I've never had a technical phone screen where the engineer was that quiet during the coding portion(not even Facebook, Airbnb, or Lyft). I got the solution in time, but I think they weren't happy with my confusion at one point and implementation.
One cool aspect is that you have the option to re-do your interview before they send a response. I would've done it but I don't want to commit another whole hour to a third-party company interview. They didn't even do a behavioral phone screen lol

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.
