Amazon Solution Architect interview questions

I was referred by someone and the interviewed was scheduled within a week after the referral. I first talked to a recruiter to go over my background, as well as a few behavioral questions, nothing challenging. Then the recruiter described the whole interview process with me. To be honest, I only took a mental note of what the next interview is about and didn't quite remember the rest, since they are so far away from now. One step at a time. Then I had the first round of interview. It is a mixture of technical questions and behavioral questions. An example of a technical question is: what you need to ensure the reliability of xxxxx? A behavioral interview is more around how do you handle a situation with a client. The interviewers were very nice and provided guidance along the way. I don't know the results yet.

The technical interview was 1 hour and very straightforward. Questions were asked in rapid-fire fashion in a variety of topics to gauge your technical breadth. The difficulty of the questions was easy-medium. My advice is to practice answering technical questions as clearly and as concisely as possible. Be confident in your answers. The questions aren't hard; I believe my interviewer was looking for how I answered them, though. Don't give answers that are messy and convoluted. Organize your thoughts. If asked to do a phone interview but video is an option, choose video and look your best. Overall, the interview itself was fine. I made my own mistakes by not giving clear/concise answers. My interviewer was nice in the beginning, but he seemed a bit condescending as the interview went on which left a bad taste in my mouth.
