Biggest challenge when I join any company is to settle into its work culture. Different companies have different work cultures and there is no one single work culture that is best, however i may only choose to join a company if i think their work culture will be something i can work within. It will take some time to build relationships and trust with the people and stakeholders of the organization and this I think will be the most challenging yet important one to master for anyone joining a company

I think I would start of with saying something like: "Oef, that's a difficult question", have a laugh and then continue with something honest and personal. 

For me that would be something like this: "If I were to start here, that would mean a new job, in a new city with lots of new people. That's a big change, no matter how you look at it. I tend to respond well to changes, but I think it would be ignorant to expect only smooth sailings in this transition to a new rythm."

I believe that i will rapidly be familiar with the company context and specificity. The challenge maybe to work in a multicultural space and i think i will afford it.
