I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest in Sep 2015
Interview
I met with their recruiters at a career fair on campus. Got a email a few weeks later with a online coding test. After that I got a phone interview and told there would two of them . Couldn't really understand the interviewer that well and had time understanding some of the questions. Didn't get pass the first round. Overall the company and recruiter were very kind though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were some methods he gave me and wanted to explain what they did and the bugs I saw in the code. The coding questions involved a linked hasmap I think. Don't quite remember but it definitely tripped me up.
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.
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.
