Suggested Approach

Start by researching HarveyAI's core values from their website, blog, or employee interviews, then map each value to a specific past experience using the STAR method. Focus on two or three values where you have the strongest stories, especially those tied to adaptability and conflict resolution, and connect them to software engineering work.

Pro tip: Don't just list experiences—show how you internalized the value and how it changed your behavior or decisions. For example, after a conflict, explain what you learned and how you applied it to future collaborations.

1. Research HarveyAI's values

Identify the company's official values from their website, LinkedIn, or employee interviews. Note which ones align with adaptability, ambiguity, and conflict resolution.

2. Select matching experiences

Choose 2-3 past experiences (from work, projects, or open source) that clearly demonstrate each value. Prioritize stories where you faced ambiguity or resolved a conflict.

3. Structure with STAR

For each experience, outline the Situation, Task, Action, and Result. Keep it concise and focus on your specific actions and measurable outcomes.

4. Connect to the role

Explicitly link how the value and your experience would apply to a software engineering role at HarveyAI, such as navigating unclear requirements or mediating technical disagreements.

5. Practice concise delivery

Rehearse your answers to be 1-2 minutes each, ensuring you highlight the value without rambling. Prepare for follow-up questions.
