Solutions Architect Interview Experience - São Paulo, Brazil
Process
The first step was a group activity. Initially, each person introduced themselves (education, experience, goals, etc.). Next, we were given a short story full of ambiguities. We had to answer questions about it individually, in groups of three, then form a single consensus to compare to an official set of responses. Afterwards, individually, we were asked to write essays about the open-source software market.
The second interview was individual, with a senior solutions architect, the team manager, and an HR rep. We had to prepare a presentation about a business case and answer varied questions.

Promotions and raises are increasingly difficult to come by. Erosion of the open, egalitarian culture. Management is less interested in feedback from boots on the ground and isn't afraid to let you know. Percentage of women in tech sales is dramatically lower than even the industry average, which is already poor.
