Solutions Architect Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The interview process, from what I can gather, consists of a phone screen, a coding challenge, and then an on-site technical interview.
The phone screen interviewer was very nice and was upfront about the position, company culture, and even the pay scale.
Questions
The interviewer asked me to tell them about myself (my elevator pitch) and then go into some detail about what I had built and with what technologies.
