      Anonymous Interview

      2 Nov 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pinterest (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      A recruiter reached out to me for a product management position. I then had an amazing interview with the manager above my role about how I could be an asset to the team. I was quickly invited to come in for a two hour interview a few days later with four team members that the role works with. I am an avid user of the product and have all the necessary skills to carry out the tasks--so I was confident I'd get the role. What makes this review so hard to write is the poor execution of the interview. Obviously I don't expect the engineers to be skilled at conducting interviews, but one of them took down notes on everything I said up until I had to leave--making me feel as if I were important and that I'd be getting the position. After some silence, I was told that I wouldn't be moving forward. Like most reviews state on here, Pinterest is terrible at conducting interviews. I will say that the process moved quickly and the recruiter was nice--but all that stress, preparation and setting aside time for interview after interview was all so they could pick my brain and dump me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Phone screen with recruiter: Tell me about yourself. Tell me about what you do at your job now--how is it relevant to the role you're applying to? On-site interview, with four engineers, 30 minute each, totaling two hours (not as intimidating as it sounds): Why do you want to work for Pinterest? How can you improve [the product you're applying for] now? How'd you handle something in the past that didn't go the way you planned--behavioral questions.
