For people who is currently working as a software engineer, what type of behavioral questions is being asked in interview? Can you give me some examples besides the normal ones like tell me about yourself/strength/weakness. I know questions varies on the type of positioning you interview for, which is why I asked particularly people who is working as a software engineer.

Product Designer here, I've interviewed about 15 software engineers this past year since I work across 3 engineering teams.

I usually focus my behavioral questions on:
- collaboration style with Product Managers and Designers
- collaboration with other engineers, in particular more junior / less experienced engineers
- willingness to teach, guide, or mentor
- how you see your relationship with customers/clients
- how you see your relationship with other areas of the company (such as customer success)
