Why would it be important to develop great working relationships with your new colleagues at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals?
The robust learning culture and drive for innovation at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals is based on the great team atmosphere. Your interviewer needs to know that you would be a trusted, respected, and great overall team player on their team.
"I value my relationships with my coworkers because we support each other and make each other laugh when the work environment becomes intense. I have a few close coworkers that I eat lunch with every day. We've helped each other by simply listening to what's happening in each other's lives. It's nice to have colleagues who understand you on a personal level, and I'd prioritize building these relationships with my colleagues here at Regeneron."
"To accomplish anything in a job, you need your team members. I rely on my team members to get projects done. I will often call them when I need advice or to pick up the slack when I'm in a pinch. If you don't have a good rapport with your co-workers, it can limit your ability to be great at your job."
This answer may seem obvious to you because enjoying your time with coworkers is sometimes the best part of the job! If you aren't a naturally social person, this question may seem more challenging to answer. Talk to the interviewer about how you develop relationships with coworkers when you start a new job. Think about what is important to you about the relationships among colleagues at Regeneron, and come to your interview prepared to discuss how you will build trust and respect among your new colleagues.
