      Technical Specialist Interview

      9 Apr 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2019

      Interview

      Phone Screen Phone Interview with Hiring Manager On site - 5 1v1 interviews, 45 min each - Analyst tested SQL knowledge - Another tested analytical thinking with questions about value of different metrics (% users repin in week 4 after signup) and what could explain changes in those metrics over time (saturated user base, different user behavior in dev countries) - Cultural fit interview - Others asked about past experience and theoretical situations. Not particularly difficult but need to be prepared Overall, everyone was great and very nice, besides one interviewer whose vibe was a bit curt and impersonal. Felt unnecessary. Recruiter was very available and helpful. Process was relatively quick and never felt drawn out.
