You have a choice from two written interview questions to respond to prior to your on-site interview. Please choose and submit to only one response. We will evaluate your writing on two primary criteria:
Clarity of thought and expression (i.e. did you explain your point well?)
Organization and structure (i.e. does it flow? Does it make sense?)
-------------------------------
Option 1 Innovation:
What is the most inventive or innovative thing you've done? It doesn't have to be something that's patented. It could be a process change, product idea, a new metric or customer facing interface – something that was your idea. It cannot be anything your current or previous employer would deem confidential information. Please provide us with context to understand the invention/innovation. What problem were you seeking to solve? Why was it important? What was the result? Why or how did it make a difference and change things?
