Please go on. You mean at Amazon you would be grilled with questions if you were the presenter?
Standard procedure at the time for a meeting was:
- no PowerPoint
- 1-6 page write up of the problem, proposed solution and timeline, and alternate methods that were not chosen
- meeting participants ideally have already read the paper, but given 10-20 minutes in silence to read and mark up their thoughts.
- presenter says their piece, mostly just summarizing the paper and clarifying tricky sections
- intellectual bloodbath as all participants try to poke holes and see around corners not foreseen by the presenter
- follow up next week, until the group/manager is satisfied about the direction of the project
