1.) its the usual euphemism used to make you feel bad for the company's fuck ups, it goes along with "not enough experience". If your company is focused on years of experience, instead of skills/talent/potential, your setting yourself up for disaster. Those companies don't become the google's of the world because of their shortsightedness and inability to plan properly for the future by treating their employee's well. 2.) Some questions are valid such as tell me a time when you weren't able to deliver to the customer (Amazon), others are BS such as "why do you want to work here," (the proper response is, it doesn't matter now since I don't want to anymore). 3.) Many are evaluating you on valid HR nightmares such as inability to filter out your personal life from the business life but many I've seen are just seeing if your going to try to move up faster in the corporate ladder compared to them. B managers hire C teams, A managers hire A+ teams.

Ironically many people doing the interviews don't like the competition, so they don't pass the candidate, who can call them out on it? Nobody really.
