Except - it’s impossible to know anything about how a company actually functions internally.
I saw this having worked with dozens of companies as a contractor. What they seem like from the outside is never what they’re actually like.
My response to this stupid question is “I don’t know, why should I want to work for this company?”
But I’ve also walked out of interviews when they started that STAR nonsense - it’s insulting and a waste of my time. How would they feel if I handed them 3 sheets of paper with answers to all the STAR questions?
I know in my hiring I’ve generally used it as a “did the candidate even do a cursory look at the place?” I don’t care how far off they are (within reason, don’t just make stuff up and lie) or did they not even care.
