There is nothing wrong with having principles like "Deliver Results" or "Learn and Be Curious".
What's weird is making interview candidates memorize these and come up with a canned performative story for each one.
- etblg 5y agoI recently did their final round of coding interviews plus leadership principles. It's not a bad idea in theory, but the way they go about it makes it very clear that you're just supplying input to an algorithm where the output is hire or no-hire, and the person asking the question only cares about taking the answer and fitting it in to a nice text box on their screen to send to HR. I realized pretty quickly with their followup questions that there was no point in answering truthfully with your real reasoning and thought process. I think you're much better off making up a story that perfectly covers the principle they're asking about, so they can take it and just put it down directly on their form. It felt like they had leetcodified non-coding interview questions.
