Solutions Architect Interview Experience - Australia
Process
Extremely disorganized. They have a five-interview process that I went through entirely only to be rejected over my level of experience, which is something we discussed in interview one. My experience was also well within the job posting.
Why put me through a peer review, code of ethics interview, and a one-hour presentation (that I spent 10 hours making) if the answer was no from the start?
They didn't even contact me to tell me. I did the fifth interview and heard no feedback for two weeks until I contacted them myself to check in. They said they had already hired someone else.
"I've been meaning to call you, I've just been so busy." Then they had the nerve to say that they might consider me for a junior role.
Also, the job posting was incorrect. It was not for a Solution Architect role that would be working with the actual products; it was for a services role. This came up later in the process, but I was willing to roll with it.
The position is now filled, but the job posting is still active, so they are receiving applications that are going nowhere.
Once again, extremely disorganized. One of their core values is "Scrappy," which makes sense because they seem to be scraping through every interaction and hoping for the best. Also, the CEO freaks me out.
Questions
I did 4 hours of interviews. I can't list all the questions. 99% of questions were behavioral. So, how would you act in this specific scenario?

Qualtrics Work Experiences
- 1.0You can do better elsewhereSolutions Architect • Former EmployeeSingaporeAugust 26, 2026Pros: Pay is above average with good benefits.Cons: Roles and responsibilities are unclear for everyone. There is zero growth prospect; you are stuck until someone above you vacates, and even if they do, there is no guarantee the headcount will not be cut. Services are at the bottom of the food chain, and your voice is never heard. Finding fulfillment in work is a struggle when the goal post keeps moving. You will constantly be working in a state of panic with the lack of job security.
- 3.0Not what it once wasSolutions Architect • Former EmployeeProvo, UTMay 12, 2024Pros: The people I worked with on a daily basis were great, and the benefits were solid.Cons: Company isn't what it once was. Ever since COVID it's been heading downhill. Opportunities for growth are now severely limited. There have been 3 rounds of layoffs in the last 18 months. Silver Lake is squeezing every penny they can out of the company currently. Morale is low across the board for those that remain.
- 2.0They don't care about employeesSolutions Architect • Current EmployeeHolland, MIJanuary 24, 2024Pros: A fast moving company with lots of productsCons: Leadership sold out, and they laid off people who had been there 10+ years and kept people who were brand new because they were cheaper. I bet my career on this place, and I couldn't have been more let down.
