I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Pinterest (Dublin, Dublin) in Sep 2025
Interview
The interview Process was actually quite pleasant, and the interviewer was very friendly, but the technical question was very wordy, and it took me some time to figure out what it was really asking.
Started off with a codesignal online assessment after the resume screen, recruiter phone call, 1h technical, and finally another recruiter call when I was notified I had gotten the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard behavioral questions, make sure you can talk about you, your motivations, and your experiences coherently. Technical consisted of leetcode-style questions, with 3 total.
There was a recruiter screen, which was mainly behavioral. It asked pretty standard questions like why us and tell me about yourself. Recruiter screen was followed by technical, which had a question on graphs.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
Codesignal GCA (70 min, 4 questions) -> Recruiter call (30 min, basic behavioral questions, logistical stuff) -> Technical screen (60 min, 2-3 LC styled Pinterest-related questions on CoderPad)
Overall, enjoyable process as my recruiter got back to me very fast! I think I did get luck for the technical because I wasn't asked anything too graph-specific, like Dijkstra's or DSU...
