I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
1- OA
2- Phone screen (1 round)
3- Onsite (4 rounds)
Phone screen was basic technical questions, LC easy-medium.
Onsite was all technical rounds, LC medium. I had a bad experience in the final round interviews, every interviewer was very disconnected and didn't speak much or at all, you technically got no feedback until you finished solving the question which was very different than other interview processes I been with. Felt like they didn't want to be there.

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.
