If an interview is (among other things) assessing how you think and work in the named job, have you critically asked yourself whether the questions / exercises actually do that? Like, is a whiteboard coding session assessing how they write code in reality?

If another purpose of the interview is assessing culture-fit, are you really asking questions intentionally that assess that? Or just “your gut?”
Is culture codified so you even know what you’re testing for?

Have you looked back on previous hires, compared to their interview answers, to “measure” the effectiveness of questions, and iterate?
(OK, it’s qualitative, but still, are you even trying?)
