I applied online. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2020
Interview
Applied through their portal, took a coding challenge that gave plenty of time to complete. Passed on to next round Karat interview. Needed to solve as many problems as possible in 45 mins. Received notice about a week later that I won't be passed to next round. l

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.
Horrible, el entrevistador ni entendia el ejercicio y queria que lo hiciera a su manera. Tardamos 30 minutos en entender el ejercicio porque el ni lo entendia. Pude hacerlo a mi entendimiento, entonces cada cosa que hacia no me cuestionaba, literal me decia que estaba incorrecto
The interview process was well-structured and included an initial recruiter screen, followed by technical rounds focused on data structures, problem-solving, and system design fundamentals. Interviewers were professional and communicative throughout. Although I wasn’t selected for the role, the experience was positive and provided helpful insight into areas for further growth.
