I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Pinterest (New York, NY)
Interview
I had to do a coding challenge. I did not advance past this stage despite answering the questions correctly. I wasn't given any sort of feedback on exactly what was wrong with my submission.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to do some simple string manipulation, write a SQL query with a join, and write some code to manipulate some data using the Pinterest API.
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.
