I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest in Oct 2021
Interview
It was similar to all major software companies, first "phone" technical interview. Then the onsite consisted of 2 technical interviews, one architecture interview, which still required some coding, and one interview with a manager

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!
