tell me about a time you disagreed with a coworker

STAR. S/T: you and a senior/coworker disagreed (on approach or a technical decision). A: you did NOT just cave or escalate — you used evidence. You listened, understood their concern, gathered data/ran a test, and either convinced them with data or found a middle path that respected their position. You kept it professional and about the work, not the ego. R: the better outcome / the relationship stayed intact. WHY IT MATTERS: GPS engineers must build consensus and work across matrix teams (your JD literally says 'works to build consensus'). They want proof you argue with DATA, not volume, and that you can disagree without damaging the relationship. End: 'I treat it as: the data decides, not the loudest voice.'
