This question aims to determine how successful you are at building collaborative professional relationships with others, even when you may not personally see eye to eye with them. How you answer may inform your interviewer of your emotional intelligence and whether you can set personal issues aside and meet the demands of your position. A couple of the EIB Group's core values are "respect. Staff members respect, trust and value those they work with and the contribution that they make." And "cooperation. Staff members cooperate and put common goals of the EIB Group before those of their business units." Keep this in mind when answering this question.

"I'm not sure, to be honest. I pretty much get along with everyone and work well with every member of my team. We are all different, and we don't all share the same beliefs or opinions, and that's what makes working in a diverse atmosphere all the more interesting. But, just because someone thinks differently than you doesn't warrant you to judge them for it. That would be like thinking less of a tree for not being human. No, I pretty much get along with and work well with everyone."
