Site Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - Mountain View, California

February 1, 2015
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

An interviewer wanted me to solve a pretty messy problem: processing a spreadsheet input with an online algorithm in Python to print a set of tables using maps in linear time. The problem was not difficult, but it sure made me not want to ever work for this company. If the interviewer thinks this is a measure of an engineer, then they should get a PhD and write the code for a billion-dollar startup, like I have done.

Questions

How do you write a regular expression for some silly pattern in Python?
