Happened to me recently. I had no idea what the person wanted.
Turns out this was the core problem for me.
I actually care about customer acquisition and marketing strategies. Product positioning is important to me and it deeply effects how the product is designed. The aspects are a conversation, not a dictation and battle between departments.
Business and marketing is how you wrap and present your technical achievements to communicate their value to the public. If this isn't part of the gestalt, then we're just a scattered swarm. Anyway, yeah, passion.
A company that thinks there should be 10 people and 500 miles between these things and who actually builds the thing isn't right for me. (Apple for instance)
This is how companies come out with spastic messes that only sell because of the existing momentum of the brand.
I would be eternally frustrated that not only me, but everyone else is in these stovepipes.
So that flaw, I realized IS the purpose. They aren't testing knowledge as much as boundaries.
It's Designed so they don't accidentally hire otherwise technically competent people who want to bombthrow their administrative apparatuses
