Facebook's official policy for a while has been, don't use the phrase "culture fit". The interviews previously known as "culture fit" are mostly asking you questions designed to answer things like, do you work hard, are you good at working with other people, are you an asshole. In my experience as an interviewer at Facebook, most people rejected for cultural reasons were either jerks during the interview in some way, or expressed that they weren't really interested in the job. Really nothing to do with ethnic background.
- rblatz 6y agoThat is how I use the term culture fit. It doesn't mean do they have the same hobbies, interests, or likes. That isn't important, what I care about is their ability to work with others, respectfully disagree, ignore/cross boundaries to solve problems, admit when they don't know something, be invested in the problems/products they are building/solving. If I just wanted a cog to churn out code that meets requirements I could get that for half the price by outsourcing.
