Whenever you're ready, walk me through how you'd approach this.
How would you handle a team conflict (hypothetical situation)?
Asked in the Technical + HR stage. The interviewer is assessing whether you can understand both perspectives, de-escalate tension, and keep the team focused on shared outcomes. A strong response should describe a structured process, direct communication, fair decision-making, and follow-through. Explain when you would handle the issue privately, when you would involve a manager, and how you would prevent the conflict from recurring.
