      Solutions Architect Interview

      26 July 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sydney
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney) in July 2021

      Interview

      Applied online for a role advertised, however recruiter referred me to another position instead. (Mentioned that the advertised role was a catch-all to get applicants). There was no communications from the recruiter, rather the coordinator contacted me for available times to schedule the phone screen. Did the phone screen interview with a peer within the SA team, and unfortunately did not make it through the the next rounds and got the usual rejection email. The phone screen wasn't hard and I believe I was able answer all the questions without any issues. However, still not enough to make it through to the next stages. General break down: 1 x Leadership Principal Questions 4 x Scenario Based Technical Questions with follow-ups ~15-20 x Technical Questions

      Interview questions [1]

      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?
