The employer is searching for any red flags that may exist from your last role and anything that might happen in the future. You want to answer this honestly and convey your desire for a productive working environment. This is a time you can advocate for yourself and bring in examples of prior work evaluations. A strong employee-manager relationship will almost always lead to good outcomes with the employee, and a negative one will almost always lead to a separation for either the manager or employee. The employer wants to catch this early if there is a potential issue.

"My manager and I had a very positive and collaborative working relationship. We met regularly and I really enjoyed getting consistent feedback. I had a good understanding of when and why something needed to be changed. I feel that the employee should make sure to be open and receptive to feedback, then both the employee and employer will reach their own goals. I understand there are reasons for changes and why we can't change certain processes but I appreciate my manager working as a liaison and on my behalf."
