A statistics intern deploying models to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) reports spending 9-10 hours daily debugging issues with little to no documentation. The intern notes that in some weeks, they make zero progress due to GCP-related problems. Support from GCP is described as unhelpful, with the intern often knowing more than the support staff. The company’s IT department is also inefficient, taking weeks to provide necessary resources. This inefficiency leads to frequent deadline extensions, with the intern working extended hours, often from 10 AM to 8-9 PM, to compensate for delays. Each debugging session requires an hour-long wait for the pipeline to run, further reducing efficiency. The intern feels the work is above their pay grade and questions if such experiences are typical for interns starting out.
