Exponent - "This is another Diagnosis problem. To answer this question, we suggest you use our framework (along with the TROPIC method) to be as thorough as possible. The framework is as follows: Ask clarifying questions List potential high level reasons Gather Context (TROPIC)Time Region Other features / products (internal) Platform Industry / Competition Cannibalization Establish a theory of probable cause Test theories Propose solutions Summarize "See full answer

Alan T. - "The difference between convex and nonconvex functions lies in their mathematical properties and the implications for optimization problems. Convex Functions:A convex function has a shape where any line segment connecting two points on its graph lies entirely above or on the graph. This property ensures that any local minimum is also a global minimum, making optimization straightforward and reliable. Convex functions are critical in machine learning and optimization tasks because of th"See full answer

Celia F. - "Managing multiple demands within timelines requires effective prioritization, organization, and time management skills. My task is to assess priorities, set realistic timelines, and allocate resources efficiently to meet deadlines. For instance, I've implemented project management tools and workflows to track tasks, monitor progress, and ensure timely delivery of deliverables.

Exponent - "This is one of the core behavioral questions you should expect in any interview. For this behavioral question in particular, we like to break things down into two parts: Listing the weakness How you're actively trying to improve For this solution, let's say our biggest weakness is being too detail oriented. Here's one potential way to answer this question: > My biggest challenge is I sometimes am too detail oriented that I miss the forest from the trees. This can cause me to go down rabbit"See full answer

Madina A. - "I’d assess a new feature launch by first checking if it achieved the goal we set before launch, whether that’s driving engagement, monetization, or retention. I would look at adoption and usage to see if users are discovering and repeatedly using it, the impact on the main KPI we targeted, and guardrail metrics to ensure there’s no negative effect on core product health like retention, crashes, or satisfaction. Ideally I would measure this through an A/B test or phased rollout and complement the"See full answer

Madhini G. - "Use sticky sessions in loadbalancer to save the user sessions. In case of DB, use Redis cache to maintain user sessions"See full answer

Mahima M. - "class Solution: def lengthOfLIS(self, nums: List[int]) -> int: temp = [nums[0]] for num in nums: if temp[-1]< num: temp.append(num) else: index = bisect_left(temp,num) temp[index] = num return len(temp) "See full answer
