Question 1
Describe to me a time when you failed to do what you are suppose to do.
Informal but professional. You sit down with the manager and are asked questions to review your work experience and history, but mostly it's just a vibe check to make sure you fit in with the team.

High pressure and over the top, I was early, the interviewer was late and clearly agitated because I was early. I panicked because of the heat they put on me.
