I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest in Apr 2018
Interview
First online application, then received an email for a take home challenge. It was a Lytmus challenge with 2 questions. I believe the time frame was 12 hrs. It was hard navigating the platform. After submission received an email I would move onto the phone technical interview. It was with a web engineer who was very nice. I found the phone technical to be very easy in comparison to the take home. It was coderpad. I thought the phone interview went very well. I was able to complete the method that was asked for and the interviewer couldn't think of anything else to improve upon with it. Ultimately, I received an email that they would be passing a few days later. They were looking for me to have 'more experience' which was comical considering it is an apprentice position.
