I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest in Mar 2025
Interview
Very long process. I asked them to schedule interviews quickly, but they did it based on their convenience. Also, they don't ask you for time slots. They just schedule again based on their convenience. Typical Coding screening followed by 4 rounds, 2 coding, 1 SD and 1 Behavioural. They expect you to do well in all the rounds. But based on the interviewers, I don't think they have experts working there. They were very basic.
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.
