Tell me about a mistake you made at work that had noticeable consequences.

~4 min by voice

How to approach it

They're checking maturity and ownership: can the candidate honestly admit their own mistake, escalate quickly, fix the consequences and turn the incident into a systemic process improvement rather than a hunt for someone to blame.
