I am looking for software engineers to work on Alexa! Alexa is designed around your voice. It's hands-free and always on. With seven microphones and beam-forming technology, Echo can hear you from across the room—even while music is playing. Echo is also an expertly tuned speaker that can fill any room with immersive sound. Echo connects to Alexa, a cloud-based voice service, to provide information, answer questions, play music, read the news, check sports scores or the weather, and more—instantly. All you have to do is ask. Simply put, it’s awesome!

Frameworks are good but could used more mocl examples

Great overview. It really helps to set the right expectation during the prep process. Thanks for sharing loopholes and how the internal process works.

Jay Raj

Great. I'm learning a lot. The trade-off section is really awesome!

Carlos Lourenco

Ramesh Mithas

Used this material to prep for the Facebook "Data Scientist, Product Analytics" role — VERY helpful. The frameworks for answering execution questions were very helpful (like "thinking in extremes"). Ended up picking Google instead but really glad I went through this.

Luishan Zhou

Found out about this course on the Lewis Lin slack: I was on the fence but I'm really glad I bought it. Execution in particular was really helpful, didn't find anything online that went to this level of depth. I nailed the tradeoff question in my onsite (and really struggled with tradeoff questions before). Waiting for my final offer now

Scott Sanders

 - I like the product sense framework in this course, it really emphasizes the importance of user needs (over the traditional CIRCLES method)
 - For execution, there's videos on goal setting, troubleshooting and tradeoffs: I found the frameworks for goal setting + tradeoffs very clarifying
 - I wish there were more example answers for execution
 - David knows his stuff and it's a breath of fresh air

Aditya Kumar

Told all my friends about this course, basically got my RPM offer because of it. David is the real deal! Was lucky to do some mocks with him and it made a huge difference

Ben Wyatt

This is the real deal. Wish there was one for Google!!
