If you cast Pillage, you can hold priority and cast Siege Smash, which more or less shuts down the stack so nobody gets priority (aside from a couple of weird exceptions that aren't directly relevant to the question). Once Siege Smash resolves, though, the stack opens up, you regain priority, and if you pass, your opponent then gains priority and can cast a counterspell targeting Pillage.

If the stack is empty when all players pass in succession, the phase or step ends and the next one begins
