Recruiter reached out to me. Phone screen & 4 onsite rounds. The problem solving questions are LC medium/easy-medium. The whole interview was a disaster. I gave interviews in many companies and got multiple offers. But Pinterest was awful, the people were good but unprepared. Except phone screen and manager round, all lacked good communication skills. For example, upon asking clarification questions, they struggled to answer and ended up misguiding. At the middle of the implementation they corrected themselves which made the situation complicated. On the feedback, they said I lacked problem solving ability which was completely opposite of the experience i had so far in the pinterest interviews as well as other FAANG/nonFAANG companies. Not going to interview and waste my time in future.

Surprisingly easy compared to what I expected from a company like Pinterest. The technical interview consisted of two coding questions, one about reconstructing routes from unordered travel tickets and another on implementing a Sparse Matrix class. Honestly, I felt a bit underwhelmed. What helped me most in prep was studying the case studies on PracHub, which gave me good frameworks to think through problems. I did get an offer, but I ultimately declined because I was looking for a more challenging environment.
