This is one of the most frequently asked behavioral interview questions and answers for freshers. It is inevitable that, at some point, you can face an uncomfortable question like this. The recruiter wants to analyze if you have encountered an ethical dilemma at work and have been integral enough to accept and improve on it. They want to evaluate your moral standards. The best approach is to be honest about any such unfavorable incident. The hiring managers want to know if you can be reliable. You can take the diplomatic way and support both: being honest and lying, but for some exceptionally good purposes. You can also be entirely in support of honesty, but that might come off as a lie because every human commits a mistake and learns from it. 'I have not been in such a situation yet. Honesty is a quality embedded in me since childhood. I do not support lying in my personal or professional life. Though, I agree there might be workplace situations in the future where I will have no choice. In such difficult situations, I would analyze the gravity of a problem and try to find a way out without letting harm get in the way of both my company and my coworker. I will try to find a middle ground instead of supporting either of the poles.'
