Solution Architect Interview Experience - Australia
Process
I found the interview unprofessional. The interviewer sat there eating while I was talking.
There was only one person on the video panel. I wasn't asked to talk about my career history, and when I tried to explain who I am, my achievements, and my career history, I was cut off.
I felt that the interviewer had already judged me before the interview had started and was biased against me.
The interviewer kept name-dropping throughout the interview and argued that I didn't do certain things when I was explaining my technical answers.
I have achieved both AWS SA Pro and DevOps Pro certifications through hard work and experience.
I was happy to take a pay cut to work for AWS, but after this interview experience, I will not apply for another AWS job.

- 5.0Great Place, Needs LeadershipSolution Architect • Current EmployeeSan Jose, California, United StatesSeptember 18, 2022Pros: Great environment. Work from home.Cons: Leadership is lost. It needs more clarity.
- 2.0Work Hard. Burn Out. Don't Get RewardedSolution Architect • Former EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesJuly 22, 2015Pros: Smart people doing cool stuff in a lot of different areas. Peculiar ways may seem strange at first, but [it's] a great learning experience. Lots of opportunity on paper.Cons: 1. The constant pressure – not a place if you have a family or any other sort of life. 2. Frugality – used to justify being tight, while burning money by not being clever. 3. Pay – the stock vesting schedule and the 401(k) matching vesting are designed around the assumption you will quit before 2 years are up, so all those promises are worthless. Sadly, thanks to #1, the turnover seems to average at under 18 months. Healthcare, compared to others in the industry, also sucks. 4. Promotion and transfer are really difficult despite what they say. 5. Outsourcing everything to India... helps #2, but nothing else.
- 4.0Awesome for learning and developmentSolution Architect • Current EmployeeSeptember 16, 2022Pros: There are a lot of things to learn and develop.Cons: There is a lot of partying, and it will be hard to keep fit.
