I’ve had a few interviews with a fortune 10 recently and I’ve noticed they ask a lot of very vague strange questions that I feel are meant to weed out people who aren’t used to the corporate environment.
I had questions asked like “what would you do if you had missing data” like ok. Where is the context behind this question? What kind of data is it? Why would it be missing? How am I supposed to answer this question with literally no context around the actual problem?
Another question: “what would you check for before deploying a deliverable?” Why would they word it like this instead of, “what would you check for before sending out an email with an attachment?” Obviously you would check for it’s going to the correct person, has the correct attachment, check for grammatical issues in the body of the email, etc. The wording of these questions just rubs me the wrong way and seems like it is mean to weed out people who aren’t corporate robots.
