They almost exclusively ask about how you will handle conflicts to the degree that I got the impression that something bad happened recently or that there is a lot of conflict at the company or between the departments. Many of the questions were oddly specific and also assumed a bad conclusion.... Describe a time that you worked on a team where someone was doing something wrong and you told them that they were wrong but they refused to listen to you. How did you handle that? Describe a time where you had to tell your boss repeatedly that they were doing something wrong but they refused to listen to you and were not taking your calls. What did you do? They will also pose hypothetical situations and ask how you would handle those. For example, how would you handle a situation where a scientist discovered something and is excited to publish but they can't publish until the patent is filed?
