I applied through university. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2019
Interview
2 technical phone screens, 1 was conducted through Karat and the other with their main interview channel, 4 onsite interviews. onsite consisted of algorithm and system design questions. One of the questions was alien dictionary, overall medium level difficulty.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode 1564. Put Boxes Into the Warehouse I.
Follow up: what is maximum total box sizes.
Recruiter call, tech round, onsite and rejection call. They sent me an email about a week after the last onsite and asked me to schedule a call on the same day. I scheduled a call to listen 30 second long rejection notice. A half of interview rounds were horrible. Interviewers were not prepared and arrogant.
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.
