Interview
I had an interview through Karat for one hour. I did not do well enough to proceed to the next stage. P interest gave me a mentor who couched me a few times for the next interview with a Pinterest Engineer. It was not a very hard question. The Recruiting team had excellent customer service and they inspired me to want to go work at Pinterest when I am ready.
