Definitely no, because I believe that convincing or explaining the situation is an optimal solution instead of lying. Lying can decline the company's reputation. No one can hide the fact too long when they know the truth our company may lose the trust. And we should remember trust is most expensive and can't be purchasable.
Thank you sir/mam for asking.

Well, that totally depends upon the impact the lie would create over the company and the people associated with it if it aims to bring a positive impact, with no means I would say no. But in case the lie is very unprofessional and can cause harm to society I would have to say no, as in future if revealed I'll lose my credibility as a professional.

I will not lie for the company at all but if the situation is demanding and speaking a lie will help in the company's growth, then first I will think about all the consequences of that lie, the worst situations that can occur. I will prepare answers for those situations in advance and after assuring that it does not negatively affect my job.

I would never lie sir, even if it creates positive impact.
Do I know to make up that one lie how many other lies I have to say in future?
No. A lie can never yeild a persistent positive outcome. Rather we must deal with the consequences even we are not ready for it, doing that won't harm but will prepare us other unknown challenges.

It depends on the situation. If it is good for the Company but not guilt for anyone other. Then it will be fine for me because as per my opinion if I used to lie somebody without any harmful to anybody I won't bother to lie.
For example, if two of my friends are not talking since last two months then I can lie to make them together.

If it puts a positive impact on the company and on my associates then definitely I'll go for a Lie. Also if any other way possible to get rid of the situation smartly then it's better to go with the latter one because it would also help me in enhancing my thinking skills for such situations that may I face in my future.
Thanks a lot!

To be a candidate, my answer is NO!
NO matter how beneficial the lie might be at that time, it would, in the long run, have a negative influence on the affairs of the company. What I would rather say is that I would always give my best to protect the integrity of my company and strive hard to make it a better place. Thank you.

Basically, I am a honest person I don't lie to the company for short term benefits if it gets revealed that I lied to the company it will create a negative impression and will show a negative impact on long-term benefits and can spoil my career and company growth and moreover I can't be confident in saying lies to company.

It's purely based on situation sir/madam first if we want to sell our company we want to know their mindset like some person if we say the truth and if we show our skills they will accept but some person they expect a lie on us I will not say it as a lie but it's a truth for them.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Sir, for me, it will depend on the situation. I will always try to tell the truth; my first choice will never be to lie.
However, if there is a situation in which I must lie and my lying will not hurt the company, benefit the company, and, most importantly, no one will object to my lying, then only I will consider lying.
