Behavioral questions
Answer the following behavioral prompts using real examples from your experience:
-
Conflict:
Tell me about a time you had a conflict with a teammate or stakeholder. How did you handle it, and what was the outcome?
-
Failure / setback:
Tell me about a time you failed (or a project didn’t go as planned). What did you learn, and what did you change afterward?
-
Proudest project:
What project are you most proud of? Why, and what was your specific impact?
Constraints
-
Focus on your specific actions and decisions (not just the team outcome).
-
Include measurable impact where possible (latency, revenue, adoption, reliability, cost, quality).
-
Be prepared for follow-ups on trade-offs, communication, and what you would do differently.
