With this question, your interviewer is looking for details on your experience of cross-departmental collaboration. In the end, they want to hire a candidate that can work effectively and collaborate with all teams within the YouTube chain. In online media, it takes many passes through many hands to complete a project. Therefore, it's essential to YouTube that you can work well with other people through various departments. Give an example of how you have collaborated with a diverse team in any of your prior roles and, if possible, talk about why this will be important in this position with YouTube.

"In my current organization, we have a staff of 450 people within ten different departments. Any given week, I will collaborate with marketing, sales, human resources, and IT. These are the departments with which I collaborate most often. I believe that everyone has a great deal of value to offer, so, for that reason, I embrace every opportunity to collaborate cross-departmentally. If you were to talk with any of my current colleagues, they would say that I'm a great communicator and a respectful teammate."
