What's your biggest weakness or area of improvement?
Hi! I only did the virtual interview/HireVue but the questions consist of basic behavioral questions (i.e. working on a team, conflict resolution, leadership, over coming problems/obstacles, etc.). STAR method is a great way to answer all the questions.
