I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Pinterest in Mar 2016
Interview
Applied online, got contacted by recruiter the same day, followed by phone screen and 4 days later recruiter emailed that they have selected other phenomenal candidates. Overall the interview experience was good, interviewer was good, recruiter was good. I believe they are looking for Java candidates only but mention that the phone screen is language agnostic.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Serialize and deserialize a tree and longest common subsequence.
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.
