I applied online. I interviewed at Pinterest in Oct 2020
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter about a week after applying online. The process started with a 30 minute phone screening with the recruiter. The phone screening was very basic (tell me about yourself, why do you want to work here, etc.). At the end of the phone call, the recruiter said I was moving forward to another phone interview with a Sales Manager. That phone interview was about 30 minutes. I was asked more technical questions (tell me about a time when, etc.) as well as questions about Pinterest specifically (how would you describe the platform to someone who doesn't have Pinterest). A couple weeks later, I received an invite to meet with 4 team members over video (usually onsite, but because of COVID it was on Google Hangouts). Prior to the interview, I was given an Excel document with data and was tasked to put it into a presentation and relay the data to an Account Manager (acting if they were the client). Each person had different questions and themes (i.e. first interview was how I work in a team, last interview was specifics to the vertical I was applying for). I would say that some of the questions were challenging, but if you prepare tactical examples you should do fine. I got a call from the recruiter about a week later and he went over my feedback from each interview which was super helpful. I got the offer about a month after I applied.

Interview
Recruiter screen went very quickly, so quickly I could not tell whether I did well or not. She didnt ask any follow up questions, so I couldnt tell how she was assessing me or not either.
the first rounds including case study were smooth, however it took me very long for them to do the final decision, almost one month.
anything besides the final decision waiting time was great.

final round was very challenging - 6 people on call that were drilling in terms of challenging client questions. Up to then the other rounds were good. Ended up not getting the offer.
