Solutions Architect Intern Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California

March 30, 2026
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 2 months.

Interview Process:

  • Three rounds total, all virtual
  • First round with the hiring manager focused on infrastructure and data center concepts
  • Then two separate 45-minute interviews with solutions architects on the team

Interview Questions:

  • Tell me about yourself
  • Walk me through your resume
  • Tell me about a time you faced a difficult technical problem
  • Tell me about a time you worked under pressure
  • Conceptual networking questions — Ethernet, TCP/UDP, OSI model, troubleshooting scenarios
  • Linux commands and general infrastructure knowledge

Tips:

  • All interviews were conversational, no coding at all
  • Know your resume inside out — they will go deep on everything you put on there
  • Brush up on Ethernet networking specifically
  • Be honest if you don't know something — one interviewer told me a topic was advanced and learned on the job
  • Treat it like a conversation, not an exam

Overall: Didn't get the offer. Honestly pretty disappointed — I put a lot into preparing for this and was really hoping it would work out. That said, the process was smooth, the team seemed genuinely nice, and the recruiters were helpful throughout. Would apply again next cycle.
