This question may appear to be similar to one that the Google interviewer has already asked. It is common to be asked several questions about the same topic in an interview. One reason for this is that the interviewer has a specific interest in this area and wants to explore it in great detail. Another reason is to ensure that you are being consistent throughout the interview with Google. This should not be an issue as long as you answer the questions honestly. Keeping your answers brief and to the point will also help you to be consistent throughout the interview.

"A large part of my job is mediating between two or more teams within the organization. Most of my work involves coordinating the output of the DevOps team with the needs and availability of the operations team. I often find that these groups have conflicting objectives. I've learned how to mediate between them by listening to both sides, understanding their issues and challenges, determining what their individual and mutual objectives are, and negotiating compromises that will help Google attain the best outcome possible."
