      Solution Architect Interview

      20 June 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Herndon, VA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Herndon, VA) in May 2015

      Interview

      The entire interview process seems to be designed to be mysterious. You're never quite sure who you're talking to, what their role/influence in the organization is, but you can be sure they are meticulously recording everything you say from their bank of interview questions. Expect it to feel very off-putting that no one seems capable of looking up from their laptops to make eye contact during face-to-face interviews. Expect very few interviewers to be considerate enough to allow you to ask your questions - time will end and it's on to the next automaton. At the end, they get together to drink Kool-Aid and debate all the data they've recorded about you to see if you're worthy enough. The other feedback on here relative to the fact that they operate more like a cult is accurate. They are looking for really sharp people, who have no problem being cagey, and furthering Amazon's "cult"ure.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Expect a thorough examination of how you feel about the leadership principles.

      Solutions Architect Interview

      29 Apr 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      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.
