Tell me about a time when you had to make an important work decision without complete information.

~4 min by voice

How to approach it

The interviewer checks whether you can make decisions under uncertainty deliberately rather than on intuition: quickly gather the available data, name your assumptions explicitly, limit the cost of a mistake and honestly assess the result. At the senior level it's important to show risk management and communication with leadership.
