This is an analytical decision question, not a design question. I would have done strategic analysis using Porter's five forces or maybe SWOT and value chain analysis to decide rather than designing a product. My answer will be to examine critical factors to decide to build tablet vs. to build apps for existing non-FB tablets (ipads and android tablets) Users"

    "When I transitioned from the Analytics team to the Product team, I faced challenges in gaining the trust of the engineering team. Having previously worked with them in a role where I provided insights rather than defining their priorities, they were initially hesitant to accept my inputs in my new role. This led to some misalignment, as they chose to focus on tasks independently rather than incorporating my recommendations. Recognizing the need to build credibility, I took a proactive approach."
