Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Philippines

Process

Was directly invited by their CEO, Tim Zheng, and the process went smoothly at first.

  • Took the React Tic-tac-Toe exam - finished and feedback from them is that I did well.
  • HR Interview - nothing specific.
  • Live Coding interview - Combination of Stack & Queue data structure problem.
  • React Take Home exam - re-implement 1 page from their application.

During the HR interview, I told them that I wouldn't take the take-home exam unless they had enough budget for my expected salary. Initially, I said I would submit it not later than a week. However, the HR said to finish the take-home project as soon as possible, as it would be a big factor.

So, I finished the entire thing in 13-15 hours. The project included CICD Setup with Heroku Deployment (since these were indicated as bonus points).

A week and a half have already passed, and I've followed up with them for the result, but I received no reply.

They couldn't have the decency to respond to inquiries and follow-ups, but they had the audacity to rush me in doing the take-home project.

Questions

You have two strings. Both strings are series of numbers.

Implement a function to check whether the second string is a valid pop sequence of the first string.

Ex. "12345" "32145" "12345" "54321" "12345" "21543"
