#2"Successful candidates should clearly demonstrate that their priorities are company, team, and self — in that order"...right there you are creating a selection bias for exactly the kind of people you claim not to want. No-fucking-body in his right mind orders things that way. You are filtering for liars who know which lies to tell.
I consider myself very not into office politics and I'm confident a would fail massively to answer most of the proposed interview questions

Indeed. Where's the company that orders it employees, shareholders, management? Doesn't exist!

Except, for example, the ACM Software Engineer's code of ethics where this is the explicitly stated order.

Technically, Costco.
(Although it's "employees, customers, management, shareholders").
EDIT: Disclaimer: have friends who work at costco, have a membership, own some stock, etc.

#8"At Facebook, moving into management is not a promotion. It’s a lateral move, a parallel track. "
This is nice in theory. But when your "peers" with Manager in their title have access to more information and more decision-making power, it is not in fact a parallel track. Just saying people are equal doesn't make it so, and it doesn't change the underlying organizational structures.

We're not talking about life and limb stuff. Your professional responsibility should be in that order. You're being paid after all.

Which is another way to say that people who comes up with these things aren't in their right minds.
