576 enterprise architect interview questions shared by candidates

first is a technical screening, similar to other already published, what happens when you click on the browser in as many details as possible. difference between tcp/udp. the interviewer seems knowledgeable. the second is a role play, speaking with CEO about cloud. I had the impression both went good but didnt get the final stage. I believe although they dont publicize AWS is looking for strong infrastructure specialists (IaaS) so maybe proviles like mine more application centric dont fit 100%. Asked a feedback and didnt receive any answer so I gave negative here.

Lots of: what if this and what if that? Tell me a time when you over promised to a customer and couldn't deliver? Tell me a time when you helped your other team members? Tell me a time that you had to go against popular direction? The whole interview is "Tell me a time" so if you think of every possible question you could start with that you'll be good. Oh and a random tech question with made up amazon words here and there - how would you manage poor performance in lambda dynamo db architecture with...blah blah, to make the interviewer sound smart. It's entertaining. They will make you sign an NDA but talk to you like you're a corporate spy and won't give you any information at all. Even if you ask they will say it's nda and pointing that you signed an nda won't matter haha. Once it's all said and done and they give you the call that they don't want you, they'll send you a survey - like they haven't wasted enough of your time.
