First phone interview w/google today. I think it went pretty well. I was asked about:
- single vs double quotes in shell or perl, and what backquote does
- example of how you would parse a passwd file using perl reg exp
- do you make a loop to do that or is there a function (i said map, grep, he wanted split)
- how do you do simple math in shell (i guessed eval or parens)
- how would you do the passwd split in shell (i said sed or awk)
- example of sed to turn commas into tabs
- what is cidr notation, walk through example of /22, how many nodes, what is the mask, what is that in binary
My turn to ask questions, I asked if ‘dont be evil’ has actually guided specific decisions at work. Nothing specific but just being cool to others in general. Also I mentioned that I am interested in both specialist and manager positions.
