Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2016
Interview
Contacted by HR who provided some prep for the interviews as well as more information about the position. Two technical phone interviews by other solution architects (from different divisions, not the exact one I was applying for). General questions on diverse topics...networks, databases, troubleshooting, etc. 2nd phone was both technical and behavioral.
In the end i think they picked up on the fact I was wary of the travel and public speaking requirements of this job and got no offer.
Ask them how their performance is measured...both gave insightful answers to this question.

Question 1
What would you do if a web application could not talk to the database?
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.
