I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Boulder, CO) in Jul 2022
Interview
To become an AWS Cloud Application Architect, one must have a strong technical background in AWS services and cloud computing, as well as experience in designing and deploying applications using these technologies. A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field is usually required, along with industry certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect. Additionally, an AWS Cloud Application Architect should possess excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. With the rapid growth of cloud computing and the increasing demand for scalable and reliable applications, the role of an AWS Cloud Application Architect is becoming increasingly important in many organizations.

Question 1
Can you describe your experience with designing and deploying highly scalable and fault-tolerant applications using AWS services?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Québec, QC) in Dec 2024
Interview
30 minutes: recruiter
1 hour: 1 technical interview
5 hours: loop interview, including 2 technical interviews and 3 non-technical interviews
During the process, they canceled the position after I successfully passed the first technical interview. They mentioned that if they decided to reopen the position, they would contact me. A month later, another recruiter reached out to me completely by chance (unaware that I had already passed the first technical interview) and asked if I was interested in the position.
In summary, Amazon recruiters don’t seem to know what they are doing and will waste your time.
A 7-hour interview process is not “bias for action” at all.
Biggest waste of time of my life, I'll never again try any role at this company.
