The issue with silicon valley interviews is that it's leading a new paradigm of management styles that deal with knowledge and creative work
This shift MUST be accepted by everybody ornostracism is risked. (Like trump supporters)
But paradigm shifts take time and the majority of managers still want cogs. But instead of filtering dor cogs they have to dress the filters up as filtering for a "i give smart people freedom team" and the convoluted mental gymnastics needed for this creates shitty interview processes.
All "well this technique worked for us" stories are mostly Not useful because tehy are just N=1 stories about managers using their preferred filters.
The issue isn't with the filters themselves (all sorts exist) but with a culture that obligates everyone to out on false facades.
People who just want to be paid and can work well need to pretend to be passionate. Managers who want well-paid cogs need to pretend to promote individualistic thinking etc...
