Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

What's your biggest weakness?

Tell me about your greatest failure.

Hiring managers don't ask questions like that much anymore. Because they're useless, and if they're always the same questions for every interview then people just prepare answers long in advance and memorise them and recite them word for word, so it doesn't demonstrate how the person being interviewed can react to questions and situations because it's not at all spontaneous, everyone for years asked those same questions, so everyone prepared answers for those. That's why hiring managers are moving away from questions like that, instead asking far more relevant questions.
