The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA) in October 2018.
Interview
Initial call with recruiter. Phone screen with an engineer, Leetcode "Medium" question. Onsite with four engineers and an eng manager, mostly whiteboard problem solving (not really algorithms per se). Everyone was friendly and smart.
