I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest in May 2024
Interview
Pinterest Mexico. It was a process of 5 interviews:
The first one was with an engineer from California and it was to solve a code challenge.
The other 4 were in one day, and it was with the hiring manager, software architect, and two more code challenges (easy/medium) leetcode problems
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Easy- Medium leetcode problems, and practice software architecture design
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.
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.
