Your interviewer wants to understand your attitude about changes in a corporate environment. When your work history includes employment with large companies and/or conglomerate corporations, there is a high chance that you have experienced a merger or acquisition of some sort. Talk to the interviewer about your experience.

"I went through a merger in 2010 with Company ABC. 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 certainly eye-opening. I learned a lot through the process."

Offer your experience objectively. 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.

Perhaps you have been laid off through a process such as this. 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.
