How do you organize CSS in a large application that several teams work on? What approaches have you tried, and what have you abandoned?

How to approach it

The interviewer checks whether the candidate understands why CSS scales poorly (the global cascade, specificity, dead code) and can deliberately choose a styling architecture for many teams, weighing the cost of each approach. They also check for real experience: whether the candidate made these decisions themselves and admits mistakes.
