Solutions Architect Interview Experience - Mountain View, California
Process
Challenging yet interesting and educational. Spoke with the hiring manager first and we discussed general database fundamentals, tuning, troubleshooting, etc. and then the manager provided an exercise that all candidates must complete, but at their own pace.
The manager was helpful during this process in clarifying parts of the exercise that were designed to be vague. Had another technical interview, an interview with the HR representative and the hiring manager again at the end. Got a great feeling throughout the entire process.
Questions
Without giving anything away you'll want to be prepared for questions such as "can you describe to me what ACID stands for", "can you explain to me how high availability works with a database". Any person in the database space should be able to answer these types of questions, but the better you can explain these concepts (i.e. as if explaining them to a prospect who might not be aware of such concepts) the better, of course.
