As someone who did a lot of interviewing at Google I can say your interviewer didn&#x27;t do his job and that definitely should <i>not</i> be the usual experience.<p>That said how are questions about &quot;netstat&quot; and the &quot;expected output of dig&quot; programming questions?<p>Also for anyone planning to join Google as a sysadmin you should note that even Google&#x27;s sysadmins do a fair amount of code since Google <i>loves</i> automation. Python will probably figure fairly prominently in your job.
