QA Engineer Interview Experience
Interview process
The overall interview process wasn't good. The employees I was supposed to initially interview with rescheduled. I ended up being interviewed by employees that were not familiar with the technical domain I work in. Phone screen was a typical Leetcode easy/medium question involving array manipulation and counters. Final round involved the typical behavioral questions and a leetcode medium graph question. Was given a use case to automate with CypressJS but the website design had changed so it wasn't even possible to do. Interviewer was clueless so we pivoted to something else. They were also rude and snarky as if it was my fault they were unprepared, obviously never attempted what they were asking, and were ignorant to the domain. Was ultimately ghosted and they never responded back. Probably for the better the way the Pinterest CEO is prioritizing the AI sloppification of Pinterest and laying off engineers.

Interview tips
I would recommend the usual Leetcode easy/medium array, set, map, string and BFS, DFS questions. The rest of the interview covered generic behavorial questions and general QA knowledge.
Company culture
Things came of disorganized and unprepared. Half of the interviewees came off rude. I would have passed on the offer even if accepted.

Automate a user flow in CypressJS
Poor experience, rescheduled to interview with someone who didn't know the domain. The example use case was not doable with the current Pinterest website design. Interviewer did not know much about the domain and had a bad attitude.
