Software Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California

April 9, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had five interviews in one day:

  • Four DSA
  • One culture fit

Three of the DSA questions were dynamic programming and extremely difficult. The interviewers didn't seem to want to be there.

Questions

Given an input string s and a pattern p, implement regular expression matching with support for . and *, where:

  • . matches any single character.
  • * matches zero or more of the preceding element.

The matching should cover the entire input string (not partial).
