Process
This was the worst and least professional interview I have ever had. The interviewer had a very heavy accent and could not speak English at all.
He asked me a question to code and did not even explain what his question was. When I asked him about input and output, he could not even answer that.
While I was coding, he was doing his own thing.
He expected me to memorize LeetCode questions and just write the answer.
I could not understand his questions, and in the middle of my explanations, he always cut me off.

Pinterest Work Experiences
- 4.0Good Pay, Annoying ManagementSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJune 8, 2022Pros: Competitive compensation package; strong ownership.Cons: Immature low/mid-level management; too many working in parallel.
- 5.0A solid place to make a name for yourselfSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeMarch 25, 2019Pros: Lots of low-hanging fruit and interesting technical work—easy for someone new to make high impact. Work-life balance is very respected; my team management pushes us to take at least four weeks a year off. Coworkers are smart and kind.Cons: On-call can be really rough, especially for people on understaffed teams. Everything moves really fast, projects change direction quickly, and it can take time to adjust to that. Wish the food was healthier.
- 4.0Clean Tech, Growth, Confusing FutureSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesMarch 9, 2018Pros: - It's surprising, but their tech is probably one of the cleanest and most innovative I've come across. Everyone is very talented. - Good career growth. - Nice amenities and culture. - Diverse. - Good hiring bar. - Good work-life balance. - Management is transparent. The CEO is very active with everyone.Cons: I left because it wasn't a product I enjoyed using personally. It appeals to specific kinds of people. Apparently, there were a lot of politics going on, but I wasn't aware or affected by it. I'm not sure where this company will go. The co-founding team is still relatively inexperienced.
