Senior Principal Solution Architect Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
One of the most exhausting processes I have been through.
Absolutely useless questions that have nothing to do with the role or personality. If you are interviewing someone with many years of experience, you should not ask stupid, elementary questions.
Questions
When was the last time you changed somebody's mind?
When was the last time you did something opposite to your boss's wishes?
Which book did you recently read?
