I applied online. I interviewed at GLean (Palo Alto, CA) in May 2025.

Interview

1. Write Terraform to create read and write access IAM on GCP. It had been a while since I wrote TF, so I was kinda rusty. I did not do well.

2. The interviewer had a giant CSV file downloaded from GCP. I was asked to write a function to read the CSV file, print the 8th column or something like that, and filter it based on a value. The file was too big and messy to read during an interview on half the screen on CoderPad. The file was also malformed, and the interviewer did not know why. It was a poorly prepared question to test someone on a simple file read and filter on a value. Needless to say, I did not do well.
