Ubisoft Massive wants to be successful in all that they do; however, there will be times when plans fall apart, and a project flops. The interviewer would like to know how you respond to situations that do not go your way.

We all experience perceived fails in our career. Failure is nothing to be embarrassed about so do not hesitate to describe a failure you've experienced in the past.

The key to a great answer is to include how you learned from that failure, and how you improved your work performance after learning from the crash.

Try to keep your example non-critical; for instance, avoid telling the interviewer how your team forgot to test new code, and it cost your company 150,000 due to downtime. Avoid blaming any particular person and instead, use words like 'we' and 'team' to describe the situation.

Finally, be sure to tell the interviewer that, while you were very disappointed in the group's failure, you took the opportunity to learn from the experience.
