I was wondering how to prepare for a potential SWE/MLE interview at Pinterest? I'm not good at Leetcode and usually get nervous with pair programming style interviews. I'd appreciate if anyone can please share insights on how to prepare over next couple days.
I might get the OA round! Not received invite yet
It’s pretty standard Leetcode like problems and system design. For the Leetcode problems it will be an easy/medium question with follow ups that will push it to a hard. Did you recently schedule this interview? Seems odd they keep interviewing people while people are stuck in team match.
I didn’t schedule this interview recently. It’s been a while since I applied and was lucky to get a call back. Since you mentioned about team match, does it mean they’ve hired aggressively of late? Just curious - what data structures they usually ask about? Hash Map/Set, linked lists? Any specific ones they ask? Is it just one problem or multiple problems?
Not sure if they’ve been hiring aggressively recently. I’ve just seen multiple posts about it. For initial screen you can expect one question with 1 or 2 follow ups. Don’t know if there’s any common data structures. Maybe Leetcode tagged has some commonly asked questions.
I finished the loop recently for senior role, all coding rounds were 45 mins total and had 2 parts, a easy-med part 1 and a med-hard part 2. Pinterest recruitment team does a Google meet every Friday where they go through the interview process and answer any questions. Pretty standard tech interview other than 3 coding rounds at 45 mins each with 2 part questions.
Were you able to team match?
Yep team matched with 3 teams
