Network Automation Engineer Interview Experience - Minneapolis, Minnesota
Process
The recruiter contacted me and set up a time with the interviewer.
The interviewer was more junior than me, and the questions he asked were basic.
He asked me to design Ansible from scratch, which I know well, as I reverse-engineered the software for my master's project.
He tried to ask gotcha questions that backfired on him twice, and it became more of an ego battle than an interview.
I received feedback from the recruiter stating that the interviewer thought my answers were too high-level. I thanked him.
Questions
How would you design an Ansible-like system to automate 10,000 devices?
How would you tackle automation in a brownfield environment?
How would you compare two lists of ACLs in Python?
