One of the 'Responsibilities' in the job description for a Software Engineer at AWS is 'Participate in architecture, design and code reviews to maintain our high development standards.' This is a hybrid question, which has elements of both operational and technical questions that addresses this requirement. Since both operational and technical questions are responded to directly and succinctly, your answer will be the same. This question's broad nature also indicates that the interviewer will likely ask a follow-up question regardless of how you respond to their original question.

"When I'm asked to review another team member's code, the first thing I look for is to make sure that the code is efficient and follows our organization's guidelines. I'm careful not to personalize my review or make recommendations on how they could improve the code based on my personal preferences and coding style. I also strive to impart new knowledge to the coder when I make suggestions. An example of this would be showing them a more efficient way to accomplish the task which they may not have considered."
