J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Pinterest en oct. 2016
Entretien
I applied online for the intern position. Got invited to complete an online coding challenge which consisted of 2 Python questions and 1 SQL question. The recruiter then contacted within a week saying I'm in for the first technical round. The interviewer was really nice and clearly explained the required outputs for both the coding questions. I got an email next day saying I cleared round one and got scheduled for 2nd technical round the next week. Although I expected to get a coding question but the interviewer this time asked a design oriented problem related to search query expansion for the Pinterest search bar. Got a reject email 3 days later saying the fit was not appropriate at this point of time.

Question 1
Find the count of downstream users for any given user in a directed graph.
Given a set of pins with attributes (pin id, height), write a function that takes the argument 'k' (determining the number of columns) and inserts the pins such that every pin goes into a column with least consumed height. If there is a tie then insert into the left most column

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.
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.

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
