Interview
I was interviewed at AWS for the role of Solution Architect. 1st round was a telephonic. 2nd was a hands on assignment where a solution had to be built on AWS and submitted. 3rd was another assignment which had to submitted and then appear for a f-f session where one has to explain the solution.
I reached till this round and then was told that they aren't proceeding. My experience in 3rd round was bad.My solution was perfect and there were not much questions asked. So, the panel asked me questions on things outside the solution that I had built and went into depth on how databases are designed ( from engineering point of view) of which I had no experience and expertise. It was an ego trip for the interviewer. AWS claims that its employees 'satisfy' the 15 leadership principles whereas dont showcase even one of them. Shows how AWS selects its candidates. Waste of time and money.
Few rounds of interview, mixed with behavioral and technical questions to showcase you knowledge of building system on aws. They also asked gen ai questions on how you would create these systems
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026
Interview
You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.
The interview process was very challenging and thorough. The questions required deep technical knowledge and problem-solving under pressure. While tough, it was fair and tested real-world skills, communication, and adaptability.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you walk us through a time you solved a complex problem under tight deadlines, and how you balanced technical accuracy with speed?
