I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
Got a HR call as soon as I applied. Scheduled a technical phone screen. They outsource their phone screen process and another companies interviewer conducts the whole phone interview via video call which records everything so I wasnt able to ask any specific company related questions. He asked me a technical question and I was able to complete it within the time limit of 45 mins with the correct working solution. Still the next day I got a reject. Not sure what went wrong. Maybe the expectation was to complete it in lesser amount of time.

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.
