Senior Cloud Architect Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
First Technical Round
Three separate interviews, totaling 3 hours on a single day:
- Technical Interview
- Team Manager Interview
- Process Interview
I was asked to prepare a technical presentation for one of the interviews. On the interview day, they changed the presentation requirement to a different interview. When I presented, they stated, "I didn't expect a technical presentation; we were expecting a process presentation." It was a mistake from the scheduling team, but I had to bear the consequence. I received a rejection.
