I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest in May 2024
Interview
Pinterest Mexico. It was a process of 5 interviews:
The first one was with an engineer from California and it was to solve a code challenge.
The other 4 were in one day, and it was with the hiring manager, software architect, and two more code challenges (easy/medium) leetcode problems
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Easy- Medium leetcode problems, and practice software architecture design
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.
