AWS Cloud Engineer Interview Experience - Wilmington, Delaware

March 1, 2018
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. Call with the recruiter to ask about my background.

  2. Call with a few hiring managers to discuss my skills for about 30 minutes and to see what technologies I have worked with.

  3. On-site interview. There were 4 interviews, each lasting one hour. Three were technical, and one was behavioral.

Questions

  1. There are customers in PA, NJ, and DE. How would I troubleshoot if NJ was complaining about issues? The architecture was the web tier to ELB to application to RDS database, and we whiteboarded different problem scenarios. There were also some basic Linux questions.

  2. Interview based on talking about monitoring with New Relic and Datadog. Nothing really technical was asked except, "What would I like to be doing on the job?"

  3. Behavioral interview with basic questions like, "How did you resolve an issue with another person or with a problem at work?"

  4. The last technical interview was with three people. One guy was on the phone since he had to run a family errand. I started off with my background, and they asked me questions about my walkthrough process for a database migration and how I could do it with zero downtime. This was the worst interview out of all. I got cut off by the guy on the phone a couple of times when I was answering another interviewer's question. One guy even asked if I knew the job required relocation and worried about where I would live. I'm thinking to myself, 'Seriously?' I obviously know this isn't remote, and yes, I'm willing to move close. I'm not here for fun.
