Behavioral & Leadership (Onsite, Data Scientist) — STAR Responses Required

Provide STAR-structured answers to all three prompts. Be specific about scope, constraints, quantifiable impact, and what you changed about your behavior afterward.

1. Challenging project under ambiguity and time pressure

• Describe a project where you owned ambiguous analytics or infra work under time pressure.
• Explain how you scoped the problem, created structure for the team, negotiated trade-offs, and the measurable outcome (e.g., p50 latency ↓20%, experiment runtime ↓30%).
• Attach one artifact you authored (e.g., doc outline or diagram).
• State what you would do differently now.

2. Diversity and inclusion

• Give a concrete example where you improved inclusion or representation on your team or product (e.g., bias review in metrics, inclusive review process).
• Explain how you measured success and guarded against tokenism.
• Identify one permanent change you institutionalized.

3. Dealing with conflict (you were initially wrong)

• Tell a story about a conflict with a peer or stakeholder where you were initially wrong.
• Describe how you discovered it, course-corrected, and maintained trust.
• Include the pre-mortem/post-mortem you ran and one behavior change that is observable by others.
