Misho S. - "California is a big state and it has roughly 35 million in population, so if we assume there is a gas station for every 500 people so there would be roughly 35,000,000 divided by 500 equal to 70,000 gas station allover the state"See full answer

Exponent - "This is a Technical question. It tests your ability to understand high level technical concepts. Even though your job won't have any coding involved, you'll still need to understand these concepts. Being able to cover all these topics with clarity communicates confidence in your interviewer. Unfortunately, there's no formula for technical questions, but some general tips are: Use analogies when you can Break your solution into clear, bite-size steps Don't be afraid to use examples to b"See full answer

Exponent - "This is a Fermi problem — an estimation or approximation problem with limited information and back-of-the-envelope calculations. There's no right answer: interviewers want to understand how you think and how well you can explain your reasoning, rather than what you already know. Recall the formula for Fermi problems: Ask clarifying questions Catalog what you know Make equation(s) Think about edge cases to add to equation **Breakdown components of your equat"See full answer

Anonymous Halibut - "The product lens I view the mousetrap through is a product which has a decision maker (someone who wants to catch a mouse) and an end user (yes, yes, the mouse to be trapped). I believe that the mousetrap is superior when it shows a better speed of catching mice. So given that there are mice to catch, it has a better 'conversion' rate of mice which took interest in the mousetrap / mice who got caught - this is a decision maker, e.g. a homeowner, perspective For a mouse, a trap is better when it"See full answer

Exponent - "This is a Measure Success question with a slight twist. The twist here is we need to consider a hypothetical product rather that one already built. This changes our formula slightly - specifically we may not be able to apply a UX flow to drive analysis since we're unsure of the implementation. Instead, we'll look at core behaviors that are indicative of success. Here's the modified formula: Ask clarifying questions State the goal of the feature **Apply a UX flow to drive a"See full answer
