      Solutions Architect Interview

      28 Sept 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Sept 2018

      Interview

      I was initially contacted by the recruiter and was shortly scheduled for an on-call technical interview. Once that is done and if selected, they call you for an on-site interview. The whole process was completed in 2 weeks. The on-site interview is aligned with their 14 leadership principles. Amazon was highly professional during the entire interview process. However, the interview process is flawed. The job description and skills required are not assessed, but someone from sales would be judging you on Amazon's leadership principles. That I felt was way off! How and why would a sales representative be able to judge a solutions architect's skill-set? The interviewers maintain a poker face the entire time. So you cannot really tell how well are you doing or otherwise. In the end, I did not get an offer for the position. Good luck to the person reading this, I hope you get it :)

      Question 1

      I would be repeating what has already been published here. Just go ahead and check what others have mentioned and that's pretty much it. If you study the questions asked from previous reviews, you would probably have an open book test during the technical phone screen.

      Average interview

      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.

      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?
