Software Engineer Interview Experience - Los Angeles, California
Process
Two interviewers and 45 minutes for each.
The first interviewer did not listen to me nor care about my solution. The second one was a really nice guy, as he always showed interest and discussed time and space complexity with me.
The first problem was about finding the shortest path in a graph with two follow-ups. The second problem was about finding three contiguous 1s in a horizontal or vertical line in a grid that only contained 0s and 1s.
