Behavioral Question: Switching Tracks Mid-Interview Loop
You are midway through a software engineering onsite when the interview focus changes (e.g., from an infrastructure loop to a product-focused loop with an added system design round).
Answer the following:
-
How did you adapt your preparation to the new loop (skills, artifacts, mindset)?
-
How did you manage expectations and logistics with the recruiter and interview panel?
-
How did you ensure your prior evaluations/signals were considered fairly in the new loop?
-
What would you do differently next time to reduce friction and ambiguity?
