      Solution Architect Interview

      24 Aug 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sydney
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      I had a phone screen with Enzo, he asked if I could explain CD, I asked if he was referring to Continuous Deployment or Continuous Delivery as there are slight differences. He advised if I didn't know what it meant I was not successful. I attempted to explain that Continuous Delivery CAN be released at any time, Continuous Deployment IS released as its committed, and he cut me off. This was the second phone screening I had with AWS, the previous one I was asked how many 9's of availability are needed. I said this is very objective, my lab for example needs 1 (90%), but a production system would obviously require more. Again was told I wasn't successful. Seems the people doing the screening are reading from a sheet of questions and answers, and don't really know what the questions mean. I progressed through Google, Microsoft, fine, and have a global cloud architect role at another competitor so know my stuff.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026

      Interview

      You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Berlin)

      Interview

      The interview process was very challenging and thorough. The questions required deep technical knowledge and problem-solving under pressure. While tough, it was fair and tested real-world skills, communication, and adaptability.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Can you walk us through a time you solved a complex problem under tight deadlines, and how you balanced technical accuracy with speed?
