7,211 architecte de solutions interview questions shared by candidates

The first phone interview was mainly technical: -Tell me about the current technology you work with -What is your favorite product/solution? How does it work? -What are the characteristic of a cloud solution? -Describe how HCI works -Describe how network virtualization works -Assume you are building an scalable website. Describe at high level how would you build this solution For the second stage (the loop), they sent a customer scenario. Basically a CloudFormation template to replicate what the hypothetical customer had built (which was broken), and the scope of the exercise was to make it functional and describe the steps I took to solve it, as well as how to prepare the solution for the future (make it highly available, secure, etc). And produce a document with the answer. The loop: Before this the recruiter contacted me to make sure I understood the process, availability to cover the market for the role, language skills, salary expectation and give me some tips on how to do the interview (use the STAR model, learn and understand the leadership principles, use metrics when answering) During each interview they focus on 2 Leadership Principles. (Depending on the role some might not be relevant... e.g. if you apply for an individual contributor they won't ask about "Hire and developt the best") Some of the questions I was asked throughout the 5 interviews: The first one was mainly technical and the question were related for the most part to the scenario: - Differences between security groups and NACL -Stateless vs Stateful -IAM Roles -What is the most technical project you have worked on? For the rest of the interviews: -Tell me about a time you received negative feedback and what did you do about it? -Tell me about a time you have gone beyond the scope of your role -Tell me about a time you disagree with your manager or a colleague -Tell me about a time you did what was best for the customer -Tell me about a time you had to learn something new to complete a project -Tell me about a time you didn't meet a deadline and about a time you went the extra mile to meet a deadline

The first 10 minutes were in general. Give me an overview of your experience, your team management experience, customer interfacing, public speaking skills etc. I had plenty of these in my power packed resume so I excelled in all these areas. The next thirty minutes of the interview was on - wait for this - network engineering. There were plenty of questions on network troubleshooting, protocols etc. Fews minutes into the interview, I actually thought this could be a mistaken identity, I told the interviewer that I am a database specialist and not a network engineer. She said that's alright and I dont need to know everything and she continued with her questions that are completely unrelated to my expertise. Then the final 15 minutes were focused on database. Even on that topic, the questions were around network & cloud. Here are couple of samples 1) How do you troubleshoot if you are not able to connect to a database 2) If you anticipate sudden surge in traffic to your database, what are the steps that you would take?
