Pinterest SWE phone screen - 2 problems, still waiting

User-axw4vMay 31, 2026

week with no response is not great. in my experience pinterest ghosts pretty often after phone screen

got the same two problems at my phone screen a few months back. boards graph one is basically LC bipartite path variant

how hard was the prefix search one? seems like it could get tricky with edge cases

alexjiang98May 30, 2026

not bad honestly. just have to be careful when the prefix is longer than some words in the list. handle it in the comparator and it's clean

i got a response in 4 days after mine. might just be recruiter backlog

just nudge the recruiter. they usually respond within a day when you ask directly
