      Solution Architect Interview

      Dec 5, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Renton, WA
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Parallels (Renton, WA)

      Interview

      Recruiter contacted me, from either Monster or TheLadders, initially very hot, but the process lasted over 3 month. Had phone and in-person interviews. Both focused on consulting experience and project management skills. Technical skills were useful only in last round of interviews, and were more then adequate. The job was very interesting, and for the first time evere my russian language was a bonus. The hiring manager was very upfront about the inability to match my salary expectations and that proved to be the undoing of the deal

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Nothing technical. The Solution Architect threw up some high-level requirements for high-traffic news site up on the whiteboard and asked me to architect it's logical and physical infrastructure, which I did, it seems to his satisfaction.
