Loved the way this turned out to be collaborative and a discussion. Not only the candidate did a good job, the interviewer also did a great job in being a helpful, thoughtful and teammate. This shows a lot about being collaborative from both ends.
whenever you have a bunch of mba grads, you ask them these questions to see how well they think on their feet and "structure their thoughts". except the problem is, as steve jobs once said, all these people can do is navigate mental gymnastics and make pretty powerpoint slides. tell me the last time facebook came out with a groundbreaking product, and tell me the last time mckinsey or whatever consulting firm truly did something revolutionary. whenever you see mba types start to infiltrate an industry, it means the industry is on a downhill slide and doesn't have that many more years left to go. the really smart people who are there to make a difference go on to find their own companies to disrupt and change things. soul sucking leeches with no real ambition, but are filled with a ton of ego, go into these mba fields to ruin it for everyone. there's a reason why everyone shits on mbas in silicon valley. there's also a reason why product managers are the most hated people on the team
