Hey yes just completed my interview cycle at Platinion. The case can vary but basically a scenario such as a grocery store chain that is having issues with supply chain, over ordering/under ordering, distribution disruption etc how would you propose being more accurate and predictive in ordering supplies, what solutions would you put in place, how would you manage communications between suppliers and grocery stores etc. and then further drill down on each of your answers. The answers are really at the technology type level not even naming specific products (although you could if you want) i.e. saying you need an ERP, an analytics tool, a POS and such.

Hope this helps

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far. Some of them I won’t hear back until September/October. Is it wrong to accept the offer and then reject it if I get a better offer? I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.

What are your thoughts on the PIP culture at Amazon? Is it more at L4, L5 levels at Amazon vs AWS? For context, I'm interviewing for L6 BD (tech and nontech) roles at AWS.
