I applied for an Apprentice Engineer position at Pinterest. After couple of weeks, I got an email rejecting my application stating I took a coding challenge as they made the decision on the basis of the coding challenge. but I never took a coding challenge for the same as it was never sent to me. I wasn't expecting such an unprofessional behavior from one of the top silicon valley company like Pinterest especially in midst world pandemic when people are getting laid off. They should have decency to at least reject application on valid basis. I'm really disappointed.

2mo interview process. Received an invite for a CodeSignal technical screener early February. If I remember; the exam was 4 questions in 70 min. I completed one, got a partial correct on another, provided pseudo code for the third, and didn't even get to the fourth. The screener was by far the hardest part, I think my score was like a 34%. To my surprise, I got invited to a live technical interview. That went really well and then was invited to the final round which consisted of two technical interviews and a personal project demo/walkthrough. The final round technical interview was not extremely difficult but I wasn't sharp during the first one. I had a much better performance during the last one of the final round. After a week or so, I was asked to 30min chat with the manager of the team I'd presumably be joining, nothing difficult: tell me about yourself & this is what we do on the team. I was extended an offer to join about a month before the program began.
