Interview
The interview process at TCGPlayer (Ebay) was long and poorly managed. It started on April 29 and only three rounds were completed by May 29. Interviewers frequently joined late or took calls during interviews, leaving me waiting 10–15 minutes. Feedback was delayed for weeks, and communication was inconsistent. The entire process lacked transparency and professionalism.

Question 1
I walked through a recent project where I used AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, and custom Snowflake dashboards to identify underutilized resources, tag anomalies, and enforce budget alerts via automation. I also discussed building Tableau visualizations for FinOps reporting.

Interview
The interview process was inconsistent and disappointing. The interviewer initially set clear constraints for the coding problem, but midway through, silently changed the expectations. I followed the instructions and completed what was asked, and the interviewer even acknowledged that the work was solid. However, I wasn’t given a chance to complete the final part, which would have taken just a few more minutes. Instead, the feedback mentioned lacking problem-solving ability — which was never reflected in how the interview was conducted. It felt like the outcome was predetermined, regardless of performance. The process was not transparent or fair.
