      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Jul 25, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2022

      Interview

      A recruiter at Pinterest reached out to me about an Android developer position on July 7th. We had a call where we went through my work history (8 years of Android in FAANG and others). On the 14th I got an email thanking me for the conversation, and outlining the rest of the interview process, which was akin to a full FAANG loop (5 hours of interviews). I was asked to pick some times for the interview. On the 20th I emailed back with a bunch of availability, and the next day I got an email saying they wouldn't be moving forward with the position. I asked for more information, given that I was just trying to set up the next round, but as of the 25th of July I haven't received an answer. I've seen reports of Pinterest having a hiring freeze, so I assume this was the reason.

      Question 1

      The hardest question I was asked was when I could take the next round of interviews.

      Application

      I interviewed at Pinterest

      Interview

      Interviewer barely spoke english. I solved the problem and had a bug. I was able to fix the bug quickly by myself. Then the next day the interviewer passed on my candidacy because my “initial solution had a bug” which I fixed quickly. The most annoying part of the interview was the lack of english-speaking abilities. Dont waste your time. They’ll dock you for any frivolous thing, especially if you’re not from “their” community. Please stop having people who dont speak english interview candidates!
