Feedback and Continuous Improvement Questions

This topic assesses a candidate's approach to receiving and acting on feedback, learning from mistakes, and driving iterative improvements. Interviewers will look for examples of critical feedback received from managers peers or code reviews and how the candidate responded without defensiveness. Candidates should demonstrate a growth mindset by describing concrete changes they implemented following feedback and the measurable results of those changes. The scope also includes handling correction during live challenges incorporating revision requests quickly and managing disagreements or design conflicts while maintaining professional relationships and advocating for sound decisions. Emphasis should be placed on resilience adaptability communication and a commitment to ongoing personal and team improvement.
