As someone who has built and led many engineering/product teams interviewing & evaluating for/on culture is super important. One key thing though is making sure everyone on the team understands our culture, and applies is somewhat fairly. Personally I define "culture" as following the values set by the company and the department. At my current place what are the core culture concepts we look out for (in a nutshell): - Valuing the delivery of functional & sustainable products over checking boxes or coming up with impressive/resume-building solutions - Everyone is expected to support, teach, and grow one another and everyone has something they can teach. - Valuing receiving & giving honest, direct, and valuable feedback. Many engineers would NOT fit this culture and in some interviews that becomes very apparent. We also send our values to our interviews before we bring them on site and reiterate them strongly before giving an offer letter... Thoes who have ignored this have never lasted to 6 months due to clashes with deliverables and with other team members.
