Give an honest answer that addresses your experience working with a diverse group of people from different backgrounds and perspectives. Demonstrating your ability to be an effective team member in spite of differences among team members is a critical component of leadership and collaboration. If previous work or academic experiences have been among a relatively homogenous group of individuals, be honest about that while emphasizing your openness to working with team members who are different from you.

"To be completely honest, the previous team that I worked on was not diverse in the slightest. I noticed that the hiring manager tended to interview and hire individuals who were similar to him in background and identity. This was something that bothered me as I place great value on working in an environment that is equitable and inclusive and brings together team members of varied backgrounds. I value hearing opinions that are different than my own and think that doing so makes me a more effective team member. I'm drawn to Cisco because of the emphasis you've placed on fostering this kind of environment as a company."
