This teamwork-based question will give the interviewer an idea of your preferred work style. Your answer will show a bit about your personality and how you interact with others. You may work well without much direction and collaboration, or maybe you are driven by a collaborative and team-focused environment. Either way, be honest with the interviewer about your preferences without leaning negatively. Ideally, you want to strike a balance between independent and collaborative.

"I understand this role at Northern Trust would require me to work independently and with the partners and team. In my current role, I work independently around 75% of the time, and I appreciate the autonomy. However, when I collaborate with the team, I feel encouraged, challenged, and refreshed. It's great to have a balance of independence and teamwork."

"Being newer to my career, the more I can learn from partners and teammates, the better I will become in my career. So, although I can certainly work on independent tasks, I do prefer at this time to have more interaction with others, giving me opportunities to learn."
