Senior Cloud Applications Architect Interview Experience - Singapore, Singapore
Process
Round #0 was an HR screening. During this, I was informed that the first round would be a written assessment. After submission, an interviewer would discuss my solution in detail, with no behavioral questions.
However, during Round #1, the interviewer did not ask any questions about my design from the written assessment. Instead, they asked me to describe my previous projects in more detail. They then proceeded to ask behavioral questions.
The interviewer's approach differed significantly from what the recruiter had stated. Additionally, the recruiter mentioned there would be only one interviewer, but there were actually two.
Therefore, be cautious when interviewing with Amazon.
