Suppose you find a very critical bug in software on the day before its scheduled release date, how would you handle this situation?

Work backwards from Customer, if this will impact the 100% of the customers then it is a no-go. I will call a Go/NoGo meeting clearly document the late breaking bug and its impact to our customers. At xyz we followed the following process:

a) First before going to production, do a stage deployment and do an end-end testing

b) If the bug is discovered during Stage, have a go-nogo meeting and state the imapct and vote for no-go, get an estimate from the team for the fix and state that the leadership in the meeting

c) To reduce the blast radius - do a staged release and make sure that Customer impact is minimu

d) Do a post mortem on what went wrong and how it was not caught during dev/test phase and ensure that this does not repeat

Tell me of an instance where you received unwelcome feedback?

In the first company I worked as tech lead, even though my performance rating was good, I received a 360 degree feedback on my interpersonal skills as well. One of them said that I sounded a bit rude in couple of discussions. When I asked for the instances, I got examples where I got the feedback from and not whom. So I had to explain my manager that it was not intentional and the aggressive demanding nature of mine could have been perceived as rude. But I considered the feedback and identified, corrected myself, toned down the way I speak in certain instances which made a set of teams in my org ex: production support teams reach out to me more often now for guidance. So this helped me gain valuable experience and unlock a totally different perspective in terms of collaboration with other squads in the company.

Question: Tell me about a time when you assisted a colleague in his work. What was the result?

Answer:

Sure. I really enjoy helping others on the team, especially when they’re stuck and not sure how to move forward.

S – Situation:
Once, someone on a neighboring team was struggling with a production issue for a few days. I noticed that he seemed frustrated and wanted help, but didn’t quite know how to ask.

T – Task:
After finishing my work early one day, I proactively messaged him on Teams and offered support. He was happy, but mentioned he wasn’t even sure how to describe the problem clearly.

A – Action:
So I sat down with him and tried to understand the issue. He told me that after one of his code changes went live, a dropdown component in our shared UI broke — its layout was completely messed up, even though his change didn’t touch that component directly.
I helped him debug the issue step by step. After ruling out rendering or layout bugs, I noticed the problem was actually due to a CSS variable conflict — the styles weren’t properly isolated, which caused unexpected overrides.
Together, we fixed the CSS scoping issue and verified the dropdown worked as expected.

R – Result:
The bug was resolved and the fix was shared with the wider team via email, to prevent similar issues in the future. My teammate was really grateful, and after that, our collaboration improved significantly.
