I’m not into the idea? Interviews are to gauge an individuals abilities. Why would you want to practice for an individual task where you will he expected to solve individually with a group? I think this is like studying in a group for a test. There is a huge risk you think you learn something but you don’t.

Studying for assignments in a group makes sense or comparing notes etc. but studying for an exam in a group or an interview doesn’t.

Afaik this is completely counter to modern educational findings. Group work helps to both motivate people and shore up gaps in understanding.
Can you cite one study that supports this claim?
Google (Scholar) just gave me thousands. I only skimmed through three, though.
Link please
