      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      Received a coding assessment not long after submitting application (4 problems; not too difficult). Next round was a technical interview. Final round consisted of 2 technical interviews and a project walkthrough with a manager. Not long after that was a quick behavioral interview with another manager. Everyone was pleasant and professional.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Pinterest (Del Norte, CO) in Feb 2024

      Interview

      2mo interview process. Received an invite for a CodeSignal technical screener early February. If I remember; the exam was 4 questions in 70 min. I completed one, got a partial correct on another, provided pseudo code for the third, and didn't even get to the fourth. The screener was by far the hardest part, I think my score was like a 34%. To my surprise, I got invited to a live technical interview. That went really well and then was invited to the final round which consisted of two technical interviews and a personal project demo/walkthrough. The final round technical interview was not extremely difficult but I wasn't sharp during the first one. I had a much better performance during the last one of the final round. After a week or so, I was asked to 30min chat with the manager of the team I'd presumably be joining, nothing difficult: tell me about yourself & this is what we do on the team. I was extended an offer to join about a month before the program began.

      Question 1

      Simple string manipulation, array, and class encapsulation type questions during the technical interviews.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest in Feb 2024

      Interview

      After a code test, I was scheduled for a 1:1 interview. When I logged on, I waited for 10 minutes. Then I emailed the interviewer. I was determined and excited. They never showed up, and we rescheduled with another interviewer. They made a big deal about giving you the opportunity to have camera on or off, but did not mention that the interviewer might also elect to go camera off. I turned my camera on and wished I hadn't because my interviewer left the camera off and I found it unnerving and discouraging. The interviewer seemed completely disengaged and I was surprised.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A medium level leet-code question that had a lot of string manipulation and edge case considerations.
