Colloquio
Most terrible and unorganized interview process. The interview process is over 8 hours and they made me sit through that two times plus two screening of 1 hour each.
This is my recent experince.
Earlier few years ago they asked me to arrange for a hotel and flight for on site interview and in the middle of airplane line they called me and asked me to go back because they hired someone else.
This time I interviewed with a team first. Their judgement was I met their leadership standards very well but my coding was a bit below. So they send me to another team witn less coding.
Second team feedback was I was not good at leadership at all while I was asked the same questions.They just contradicted the first team. (questions were identical)
In the interview you talk to so many people and hardly one of them is from the same team you are interviewing for.
In my case I was interviewing for solution architect at aws but most people were from warehouse section. So good luck with communicating technical achievements and what value you added to a problem when talking to prople who doesnt have any knowledge clue or relavance to AWS services.
The process is so boring, physically exhausting and repetative that unless you are marathon athlete you cant physically make it. You have to sit upright for 8 hours answering repetitive questions. In my case they asked the same thing 3 times.
Maybe this torture is part of their test and intentional.
I have back problem and migrane and dizziness problem that get triggered when my blood sugar drops. So I used a small chocolate during that 8 hours. Based on some hints in their feedback the true and original reason they rejected me was that small chocolate. So if you ready to join a company that lacks that much understanding that you need something to grab to maintain blood sugar and reject you like that after two months of hard work and preparation, go for it.
Im almost 40 years old and I really dont understand what they can gain with these behavioral questions. Some people were seniors and I respect their opinion but how come 20 years old person who just started working can analyse your answers from psychology perspective.
If you want to pass you should lie thats whats they are looking for, very shiny polished flawless answers. They are even companies who charge you 10000$ to teach you what to tell them and they have spcific track for AWS thats the world we are living in.
I used real examples that really happened to me and I was awarded in my company for going above and beyond. Obviously thats not enough. how many good examples of conflicts(something thats worth mentioning) you could give?
1,2,3. No you need much more than that which is not likely unless you lie.
And who is judging you? Someone who just started their career which in their view is qualified. They are all psychology experts!!!

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.

Can you walk us through a time you solved a complex problem under tight deadlines, and how you balanced technical accuracy with speed?
