I've never understood why the HR people always see "not asking questions about the company" or "not demonstrating knowledge about the company" as such a red flag.

People are looking for a job, not a cult to join.

They want cultists though. Easier to exploit

Once I did an online interview process were they had a whole video and slideshow explaining about the company history and culture and the employees were saying about how it was a position for people who "truly believed in the mission of the company".

And then they had a quiz about it.
They truly want a cult. Fuck em.

I worked at Asus as a software developer for a while, had ti do a whole ass course on the history of the company. With unskippable videos and a questionnaire after as well. Pretty sure that took the better part of a day.

I only worked on the internal systems that really don't have anything to do with the actual products Asus makes.

ASUS does seem to care more about their name than the quality of...
of anything they output
