I love this thread and the comments in it.
I just had a useless interview with a company that pops up here from time to time. The only thing I liked about the experience was that the itinerary at least tried to make it clear what the key values seemed to be: listening to customers, outcomes, evolving vision. I tried to "map" my experience with their potential customers and how they could think about the "box" and listen and solve.
There's a 10 billion dollar problem in this particular industry and if you take the time to understand customers, it's pretty obvious. I watched first-hand the biggest competitor of this org pivot for this after being around for decades.
The "discussions" I had were not discussions at all. They all seemed rushed. There was no "deep dive" into tech at all.
Next time I interview, I'm going to try a radically different approach: I am going to undershare rather than overshare.
As an interviewer, I'm going to start asking people about cucumbers rather than speak about particular tech or follow some form-based process.
