They are normal-ish questions and I can see where the STAR guidance is better than getting no help at all - I just think the process is too rigid overall. I've interviewed a handful of people for our team in the last year - all had the right background and technical expertise, but since they didn't have an example from their career which matches up with the LP questions they were asked, they were knocked back. All of them would have been "bar raising" from a technical standpoint, but since they were not demonstrably already "Amazonian" in their mindset, we couldn't hire them.
