I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA) in May 2018
Interview
The interview includes one technical phone screen and an onsite interview. Most of the interviewers were very confused and less experienced. The technical phone screener kept the phone on mute and was not interested in knowing the process. On-site was another chaos, system design interviewers used one of their very specific use cases and were very fixated to a particular solution, overall I did not enjoy the interview process and people so declined the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was from the top 50 interview question on leetcode. very straightforward.
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.
