"I went through a merger in 2010 with Company ABC. The transition during their mass-layoff was not handled as professionally as many would have liked; however, I believe that the leadership team did the best they could. I was lucky enough to stay on board with the company and my experience during the transition was eye-opening. I learned a lot through the process."

Exude objectivity. Omit emotional details. Describe the situation, what unfolded, and your understanding of why. If you haven't experienced this, offer your understanding of why they'd ask this question, your insights into what that may look like, and ask clarifying questions.

Maintain a positive attitude. Avoid speaking negatively about previous employers. Change is a part of life, and exhibiting a mature understanding of this goes a long way. Also, ask them if there are any mergers or acquisitions on the horizon that you should know about, and how they might affect the position you're applying for.

In one of my previous roles. I used to work for ______ company in Saudi that sold Cummins generators, then Cummins Arabia was formed and they formed a JV. The transition was hard and many were laid off. Getting used to new systems and moving from local Saudi culture to an international company culture was challenging for many and a lot of people resigned. However, it was a great and eye-opening experience for me and I consider it a positive change.
