Process
One of the Pinterest recruiters reached out. I had a 15-minute phone call.
I received an email with all resources useful for technical interviews. You could also register for a public video call session with two Pinterest engineers to learn about the interview process and important hints.
The next step was a technical interview asking algorithm, data structure, and general ML questions.
If you passed, the system design interview was the next step.
