I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pinterest (Boston, MA) in Oct 2022
Interview
The interview process was alright. I talked with a recruiter, and moved on to the technical interview. The interviewer never turned their camera on and the structure of the prompt and lack of written question made it pretty difficult for me to understand the goal. It probably took me 15 minutes of prodding to get to the goal of the question. It seemed like he came up with the question right before the interview.

Difficult interview
Application
I interviewed at Pinterest (Toronto, ON)
Interview
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.
