When have you worked among a diverse group of people?
Netflix has a clear statement available online related to diversity and inclusion. They say it takes diversity of thought, culture, background, and perspective to create a truly global internet TV network. Discuss with the interviewer how you plan to contribute to their diverse workplace culture and assure them that you can handle an environment that offers diversity.
"I have worked with diverse groups of people most of my career, including my time at university. I am most comfortable and happy in this environment because it offers a great learning opportunity."
"I have worked in a diverse environment my entire marketing career. A successful tech company should embrace diversity of all kinds. It's what spurs creative and innovative ideas!"
"Over the last four years in college, I was exposed to a culturally diverse atmosphere for the first time, and I learned so much about myself and others. I loved learning about the ways people different from me think and act in different situations, and this made me more aware of my thoughts and behaviors. I'm excited to enter the workforce in a culturally rich atmosphere like Netflix, where a wide array of people sparks great ideas and innovations."

With an international background from both studies and work, I've cooperated with various diverse groups of people and learned how culture plays a role in performance. For instance, Asian cultures are known to be collectivistic, whereas European countries tend to be individualistic. Working in teams, one has to consider how each person's traits stem from their culture and collaborate with that in mind.

Your answer is thorough and well thought out. I would avoid making collective statements about specific cultures; however. Your answer is complete enough without those statements.

Each project I work on has more of a focus on the inclusion of varying perspectives and life experiences. The last project involved a 24 person team from 12 countries, for an event holding 200 people from 40 countries.
