Values & Behavioral Interview

Preparation system for behavioral and values-fit interview rounds at mission-driven AI companies, with particular depth on Anthropic's approach. These rounds are NOT standard "tell me about a time" STAR interviews. They go deeper: negative framing, 5-6 layers of follow-up, genuine self-awareness testing, and mission alignment probing.

The core insight: interviewers are not listening to your story. They are listening to how you think about your story.
