I applied online. I interviewed at Pinterest (Palo Alto, CA) in Feb 2021
Interview
One phone screen through Karat.io.
Onsite with 5 interviews: 1 hiring manager, 1 research+behavioral, 2 coding, 1 ML design. All held on the same day.
Got the result in about one week after the interview.

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.

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.
