Solution Architect Interview Experience - Düsseldorf, Germany
Process
First, there were a few phone calls with a recruiter, and then an interview appointment was scheduled for an online meeting.
The actual job interview was conducted via online meeting with Amazon Chime.
I was essentially interrogated by two Solutions Architects in an interview. It was not a friendly and informative conversation, but rather a kind of knowledge test on AWS and special services like RDS, DynamoDB, etc.
The whole thing came across as if the interviewer wanted to show off their expertise, which didn't really work out, as the interviewer regularly dropped out of the meeting, and the second interviewer was a trainee who didn't know anything.
All in all, the conversation was exhausting, and due to the poor technology, I found the whole thing to be unprofessional.
