Outside of "exhibits basic social grace and custom", culture to me is: * Diversity of thought and multidisciplinary approach to problem solving * How you view teams, how you would organize a team you were going to be part of, what makes a good team * How you handle failure, defeat, and disappointment * How you handle difficult people and situations * Your communication style, especially for bad news * How you convince others to change * Your view on work life balance * Your attitude towards management and leadership styles * Your appetite for risk and entrepreneurship * Your dispute resolution tactics There may be others... In any case you can address most of these for senior hires with simple SBO questioning. For juniors you're probably best off just focusing on communication skills, working in teams, and challenging situations or failures.
