The most comprehensive bank Interview Answer Review tooling available online.

When I enter a project with stakeholders who have different opinions, I first focus on understanding their perspectives and the underlying reasons for their views. I make sure to listen actively and ask clarifying questions to fully grasp their objectives and concerns.

For example, during a product launch, I had stakeholders from sales who wanted to push the launch date forward to capitalize on a market opportunity, while the R&D team was concerned about product readiness. To resolve this, I gathered market research data showing the potential revenue increase if we met the original timeline, and I also worked closely with R&D to understand their concerns about product quality. Although there were some objections, I presented a compromise that would allow us to meet the market demand by focusing on a phased rollout. I used financial projections to show that an earlier launch would indeed bring a strong return, while also addressing the R&D team's concerns by proposing additional quality assurance checks before full-scale distribution. This data-driven approach helped us reach a consensus, allowing the launch to happen on time while maintaining product integrity.

Throughout the project, I kept everyone updated with regular communications and used metrics to track our progress against goals. This transparency helped maintain alignment, even when issues arose, and allowed us to quickly address concerns and stay on track.

First step is to generate an inspiring Job Requisition. I work with team members to review the requisition to ensure the team is aware of the requisition and understand that we have an opening so they might share with their network. I get the requisition approved and share with our corporate sourcers. Then I socialize the requisition with my network both internally and externally with linkedIn etc. When we get resumes I invite the team to participate in the interview loops even if its only shadowing to give them experience with interviewing.

First, I will analyze what the needs of this group of users are. Starting from their needs, I will think about whether there are any breakthrough points to achieve more profits.

Second, I will consider whether meeting these needs and achieving more benefits will harm other users, as well as what countermeasures can be taken.

In my current role, there was a time when operation and engineering team was not aligned which was causing lots of delays during deployment. as per operation team build should be deployed in same branch which was available on pre-prod but as we were running multiple projects/features parallelly. it was difficult to develop and test everything in one branch and made it ready for deployment in a short time.

I had to work with my team (engineering team) and operational team to come up with a solution where we both are aligned and can reduce delivery time as well.

Initially i had proposed a solution when we were developing and testing work on feature branch and once its fully tested by QA on feature branch we push all changes to staging branch where we can do final testing. for some time this approach worked but we start facing new issue which is related to code merge as after merge features were impacting each other and require additional time to fix those issues and make it ready within planned time.

We added one more process if features/fixes are small and won't impact much then we merge else we try to plan deployment sequentially to avoid any further delay. 

This approach helped team to deliver project/feature on time and operational team was happy as they don't need to keep track of multiple branches during deployment.

I recently took over a team from a different tribe, my approach was to observe what the team was doing and how I could best help them. 

One of the observations was that a team member was not contributing as much as was expected and ultimately was underperforming. I raised this with the previous line manager and he validated my concerns and said that he will likely get another developing in performance review and be put on a PIP. 

After some initial conversation with the individual, discussing what I've observed and how his not meeting expectations, I was pretty sure, this person was checked out and was likely heading for a difficult performance review

However, after some further discussion and people a relationship with that individual, they opened up and start to share their difficulties they were having. This then allowed me reach out the necessary teams to get them the support they needed. 

Utlimately, they proved me wrong, as due the the hard work with both put in, his on track for a good performance review

I try to understand their point of view and be open to new ideas. If I listen without being defensive I know  the other party will also listen. That way we can take the best idea from both and come up with great solution.

The accomplishment that I am most proud of is when my manager asked me to move to Malaysia to set up a new Factory and the Operations department in Kuala Lumpur.

It was my job to get all licenses and permits required to allow our factory to run under the country's regulations. I had to define the different roles needed like Product, Process, Quality, and Planning engineers. In addition, it was also my responsibility to manage the transfer of 3 different product lines from China to Malaysia.

To make that happen, I kicked off the project with the stakeholders to define the goals, budget, and plan for the opening of the new factory. I defined all milestones, and I collaborated with HR team to define the total HC needed, the different roles, the timeline for each incorporation, and the budget. With the Legal department, I worked closely to get the licenses and permits required for our company to operate in Malaysia. Together with the Operations team, I worked on the factory layout, material readiness, staff training, and the assembly lines transfer plan from China to Malaysia.

After 9 months of deep collaboration with cross-functional teams, I completed the project on time and within budget. It was a great learning opportunity that challenged my program management and leadership skills. Finally, the transfer resulted in a cost down of 5% for our customer in the products transferred to Malaysia.
