Interview Questions

James W. - "I'd do an audit of what we understand, the gaps and the risks. What information do we have and how confident do we feel? What assumptions do we have? What do we not know? What is the risk of making certain assumptions? With this information, and a pulse of your team you can get an understanding of the risk level for moving forward. If the risk is high, you need to go back to leadership with the evidence and ask for more time. **What's the risk if we don't launch on"See full answer

ready4new - "I will need to understand What are we selling and who is the target customer? Is one retail location per metro area enough or is the market big enough for multiple stores? What is the goal of future retail locations? Gauge the market for fit or drive revenue. If LA market is big enough for multiple stores, then for logistical reasons, I will prefer to open additional stores in the same geographic region. If LA market is not large enough, then my second store will be in an a different"See full answer

Ian R. - "You might build a product like this a few ways. I think you'd definitely want a temperature sensor device (maybe like a TMP422, or maybe there's a different one that is standard for wearables) that was worn by the individual. As far as tracking social distance, my answer here is more dependent on the state of the art of robust (wearable) distance measurement. Maybe there's something available better than ultrasonic sensors, maybe there's some kind of electromagnetism based solution that isn't in"See full answer

Ash K. - "Below is the step by step approach I would take: Identify potential risks: Firstly, I thoroughly analyze the project and identify potential risks that could impact its success. This involves reviewing project documentation, conducting stakeholder interviews, and seeking input from team members who have expertise in different areas. Assess the impact and likelihood: I evaluate each identified risk by assessing its potential impact on the project objectives and determining the likelihood of"See full answer

Harsh S. - "Some clarifying questions. Does this include storage required for backup? Assume - Yes and only one replica. Will email be compressed? Assume - Yes Assuming world wide user base. Let's formulate the equation required to estimate this answer. total storage required = (Total users x storage growth/per user + new users x storage required/user - all users x delete storage)*compression ratio + storage required for one replica. Total Gmail users = ~1B Based on my own ema"See full answer

Andrea L. - "Clarification Questions: Through in-person purchases or including online? Both Cinema just for movies? Yes Amount of revenue or just tickets sold? Tickets sold High Level Equation: Cinema tickets in a year = (# of cinemas in the US) * (# of movie playings per cinema per year) * (# of viewers per cinema per screening) \# of Cinemas in the US = amount of states * average number of cinemas per state High Density Areas - 30% - 50 cinemas = 50 x 50 x .3 = 750 Suburban T"See full answer

Bhavya V. - "BERT - bidirectional encoder representations from transformer. For example:- it takes an entire sentence as input at once and understands the meaning of the words in that sentence and calculate the relations of words with each other irrespective of their positions from the original word to understand the meaning of the word using neighboring words. BERT model is a pre trained transformer model which can be fine-tuned for our purposes. It is used for tasks such sentimental analysis, question answ"See full answer

Sushant G. - "To roll out Instagram Reels, I will define my target customers as GenZ and newer generations. I will focus on design with 3 parameters - ease of use & stickiness, sharing, and comments+likes. Reels feature should be kept at prime location in the app, with easy option for user to navigate between reels. User should be shown reels based on his interest areas - reels skipped by user, reels seen repeatedly by user, reels shared by user, reels liked/commented by user. Reels share feature sho"See full answer
