Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

It was one of the best experiences I have ever had while interviewing for a company.

The recruiter was very warm and answered all my questions patiently.

The interview itself was very pleasant, and the SF office is beautiful. I'd rate the interview as slightly above average in difficulty.

After the phone screen, I was called onsite, where they gave me a goodies bag as a token. After the interview went well, I got the news that they would make me an offer. Since I had a couple of other offers, they made me the best offer of all the offers I had.

While making a decision on which company to join, they gave me ample time to decide without trying to push me to make a decision quickly.

I was working with another recruiter from a "fast-growing" SF company who became downright rude when I asked to meet the team before making a decision.

I felt so welcomed and was treated so well by the Pinterest hiring team that it played a huge role in me choosing to go with their offer.
