The role play was the most difficult. I had to "troubleshoot" an issue with two engineers acting as whomever I needed to invoke. They could serve as my manager and answer questions; the field service engineer who could provide details; and really anybody else I needed.

This caught me off guard because I expected the questions to be more directly related to lighting systems and possibly some home automation since that is what the company produces. In hindsight, I can see that the question was intended to show ones ability to think through a process and solve problems along the way.
