The interviewer asks this question to assess if you are a team player who will work well with others. As they advertise on their careers pages, "We've replaced corporate hierarchy and bureaucratic conventions with open communication and a collaborative working environment. By promoting a safe, innovative, and inclusive culture, anyone with the talent, energy, and focus to solve hard problems has a seat at the table. We refuse to do things the way they've always been done. It doesn't matter where you come from, where you went to school, or what industry you're in, if you've done exceptional work, join us to rethink the future." Think about a situation where you worked with an employee or took feedback from a supervisor who was not your direct manager. Be positive in sharing your experiences and reassure the hiring manager that you are willing to receive feedback whenever it is offered.
