I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
Got contacted by the University Recruiter. They were very helpful and provided resources for preparing for the technical challenges. The technical code challenge was on Karat.io . 4 hours to solve the challenge. Cleared the challenge, went to the phone screen but applications closed during this period.
1st round technical phone screening with in 1 hour.
One follow up question was asked.
The problem was not too hard, but it requires you finish really fast without bugs.
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.
