"As always, I'd start this discussion by asking a couple clarifying questions. In particular, I'd like to learn more from the interviewer about what "not pulling as hard" looks like. Does it mean:
lower code output relative to the rest of the team
lower velocity per sprint in terms of story points
less participation in code reviews
minimal participation in meetings and ceremonies
Or perhaps it's a combination of these. As others have pointed out, I'd also want to confirm that I am not ma"

"Here are some strategies to mitigate the effects of organizational and architectural dependencies on a team's work.
Automation
Where possible, automate repetitive tasks, and include appropriate controls to ensure safety. For example, automate deployments, building in all needed safety and compliance checks, and let teams perform the process themselves, rather than having them back up in the Ops team’s queue.

"I always ask to clarify if this is a brand new team. If so, then I focus on bringing in people with strong technical aptitudes(since I'm hiring for software engineering), but also team members that have experience mentoring and good communication is a must. I look for people who have leadership qualities. I emphasize that building a brand new team isn't something I can do on my own, so the initial hires of that team are very important to help me expand it."

This was an internship and I was coming with almost 2 years of experience and 2 semesters of my graduate program. My experiences have mostly been theoretical or with startups. I've never solved problems at scale.

"One project that stands out involved building a customer segmentation dashboard for our marketing team using Power BI. The goal was to help them target campaigns more effectively by segmenting customers based on purchase behavior and demographics.
Early in the project, I noticed significant data quality issues in the source tables coming from our CRM system. There were missing values in key fields like customer age and region, duplicate customer IDs, and inconsistencies in how product categories"
