##### Question
This Roblox software engineer onsite behavioral round covers three related leadership scenarios. Be ready to answer each with a concrete, structured story (STAR works well).
1. **Giving critical feedback.** Describe a time you gave someone critical or negative feedback. Why was it necessary? How did you deliver it? How did the person react, and what changed afterward?
2. **Handling conflict.** How do you approach and resolve interpersonal conflict on a team, including with peers or cross‑functional partners? Walk through a recent conflict, the approach you took to resolve it, and the outcome.
3. **Missed success metrics.** If a project's agreed‑upon success metrics are not met by the target date, what steps would you take to diagnose the issues, communicate with and realign stakeholders, and course‑correct? What would you do differently next time?
