I think having the same requirements you should expect more than 3x deviance for a lot of roles. We aren't talking about an observation between the random difference between two average people. We're talking about the most performant and least performant people who could potentially share the same job description. The entry level is full of this. If you hire a bunch of engineers with no experience, how often will you see a difference of 3x or larger between the top and bottom. I would say often, and it doesn't show anything bad about the organisation.
