1,387 aws engineer interview questions shared by candidates

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?

Give an example of a time when you didn't meet a commitment. Give an example of a time that you didn't meet a commitment to a team member. As I look back I feel like they only asked variations of this question. My boredom at answering this question surely came through, because a couple of my interviewers muffled yawns when I attempted to answer this question again. Because they all asked similar questions, I began to get confused about whether I had provided that particular example already. I even asked if I had told her about "that example" yet. I actually had a few dreams after the interview about the interview.
