I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest (Dublin, Dublin) in May 2025
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me. Phone screen & 4 onsite rounds. The problem solving questions are LC medium/easy-medium.
The whole interview was a disaster. I gave interviews in many companies and got multiple offers. But Pinterest was awful, the people were good but unprepared.
Except phone screen and manager round, all lacked good communication skills. For example, upon asking clarification questions, they struggled to answer and ended up misguiding. At the middle of the implementation they corrected themselves which made the situation complicated. On the feedback, they said I lacked problem solving ability which was completely opposite of the experience i had so far in the pinterest interviews as well as other FAANG/nonFAANG companies.
Not going to interview and waste my time in future.
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.
