What to Expect in the Pinterest DS Interview Loop

The Pinterest DS interview loop is very structured. Each interview follows an almost-rigid format to assess you across very specific technical and leadership skills. Here's the process:

  1. 1. Recruiter Screen

    Exploration of technical stack and interest in Pinterest's mission.

  2. 2. Technical Screen

    Assesses SQL, statistical reasoning (A/B testing), and a product case study focused on Pinterest scenarios.

  3. 3. Final Round

    5 sessions: Coding, System Design (data solutions), Machine Learning/Applied DS, and Behavioral/Culture fit.

    • Behavioral

    • Statistics

    • Case Study

    • ML Knowledge

    • Coding & SQL

This was an absolutely incredible coaching session. While it is pricey, it was definitely worth it. I’ve always struggled with the Hiring Manager rounds, but the coach provided invaluable, actionable feedback from an actual hiring manager's perspective on how to elevate my responses during behavioral interviews. Highly recommended!

Great to meet you and thank you for a great mock experience. I appreciated the tailored suggestions and the focus you brought to the session. It was easy to chat and felt just like the real thing. Thanks for all your work to do this! I could trust the information that I was getting. The interview felt just like other Staff DS interviews I had with other comparable companies.

Meeting coaches from the companies you want to interview for is really helpful to understand what topic to target for preparation and what to expect.

I came to the session with no experience on behavioral interviews with tech companies at all. But after the session I felt I was fully equipped with knowledge. I especially appreciated your advice that I should connect everything I say to the company. The "extended STAR structure" is also really helpful. I literally had an interview just one day after our session, I think I was confident and articulate during the interview, and I believe the session played a big part in helping me gain that confidence. So thank you!

Thank you for the session! It was really helpful as my first ever experience with coding interviews. The tests you selected seem to reflect what I would get in an actual interview well. I appreciate your patience when I got stuck on questions and your feedbacks at the end.

Thank you for the mock interview. This is the first business case study I've ever done so it definitely helped me a lot both in terms of practicing and gaining confidence. I also really appreciate the experience and knowledge you shared along the way. 1. The UI is very friendly and easy to use.  2. When I submitted a mock interview request, I got prompt response even though it was Friday evening. 3. It is not too pricey... compared to some other platforms I could find on Google.
