Other Software Engineering Intern Interview Reviews for Pinterest
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Pinterest (Boston, MA) in Oct 2013
Interview
Applied through college career website, heard back within a week. Interviewer was friendly, and seemed really enthusiastic about product/company vision. Willing to answer questions, and was encouraging throughout technical interview. Technical questions seemed pretty standard (read through string and output number of times each digit occurs, reverse words in sentence, etc.)
