I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Pinterest (Ciudad de Mexico) in Feb 2025
Interview
El proceso se divide en tres etapas:
1. Conversación con HR. Está etapa es para conocer al candidato, habilidades y si hace fit con los lineamientos de pinterest.
2. Technical phone screen: es una entrevista de 60 minutos, donde, tienes que resolver un problema de DS/Algorithms y quizá un follow up.
3. On site: Consta de 4 entrevistas, dos de ellas son de DS/Algorithms, una entrevista con hiring manager y system 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.
