Interviewing at Pinterest soon and was wondering what the 2 coding interviews would be like, normally I’m dealing with LC medium stuff for security interviews. Also curious about the architecture interview, I’ve done security reviews on architecture designs but I’m not sure if this is like a system design interview or more security focused stuff. If anybody has some tips they would be appreciated
How was your interview...? Did they ask Leetcode Medium / Hard question...? I have an interview for Info Security role for a junior position.
Coding could be like a secure code review and parsing logs generally. I would not expect LC for prodsec role. Generally architecture part would be threat modeling +system design
That’s what I’m hoping for, I’ve never had to do an architecture design from scratch interview for a prod sec role.
You don't need to design from scratch but you need break down the given architecture in Security perspective, something like reverse engineering the design and explaining the flow and doing threat modeling on that.
