"Culture fit" in this case appears to mean "don't say or do anything, no matter how minor or symbolic, that might be construed as a challenge to my authority over you". i.e. it's a big fat euphemism. Just say "no prima donnas" on your list of requirements. Most people will be able to read between the lines and know that you're looking for servility, fealty and obedience in your employees. I, for one, would be happy to screen you out based upon those words. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like me, I wouldn't like you and I wouldn't want to waste your time or mine interviewing with you. Those three words would save us both a lot of trouble.
