I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Pinterest in Mar 2016
Interview
Applied online, got contacted by recruiter the same day, followed by phone screen and 4 days later recruiter emailed that they have selected other phenomenal candidates. Overall the interview experience was good, interviewer was good, recruiter was good. I believe they are looking for Java candidates only but mention that the phone screen is language agnostic.

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.
