I applied online. I interviewed at Pinterest in Dec 2017
Interview
There was a Lytmus online coding challenge that you were given 12 hours to complete 3 questions that others here have talked about. I probably could've interviewed earlier, but it took a while for the recruiter to send me the coding challenge. I then proceeded to an online phone interview around a week later.

Overall experience was neutral. Got an online assessment, finished it the next day. Did not hear back from them for 3 months. All of the test cases passed for the OA.
