Well, what is it that prompted you to apply? For me, it’s important that I align with the values of the firm I’m working for as well as fit their culture. I do my research before applying. When they ask a question like this, I refer to their specific values that resonated with me or office events that I saw photos of on LinkedIn and related to.

This is exactly what I do too. Do research and determine how you fit in to the culture they are cultivating and how their company values resonate with you.

What are your thoughts on the Scrum Master role? I’ve worked with a few now and out of 5 of them, only 1 seemed to be of any help. Most of the time we have to explain every detail multiple times and they still don’t understand what we’re doing. I feel that the role should be reserved for employees with experience in the systems they work in.

Have I short changed myself?
