I am really surprised by all this "humans are social animals and like to be in the office community" bullshit. I had to be lectured about this from all of my managers allready. But if this would be really the case, then why is office community not part of the application process?? If that would be true, then interviews should be done in a very different way, giving the applicants the chance to get to know the people they will be working with.
In all my interviews the topics were
1. What is the company doing?
2. What have I done?
3. What can I do for the company?
Never was something like do I share some of the interests / hobbies of the people allready working there relevant.
Maybe it is a match for some people. But then it is a coincidence. You are employed to work and to produce something for the company. It was never about having fun. Stop twisting things.

I always interview so that the team and the applicant meet and can chill a bit and I also ask them about their opinion. Especially for small teams it's way more important to have a personal match than ticking the boxes on the "hard requirements" like coding abilities. > Maybe it is a match for some people. But then it is a coincidence. You are employed to work and to produce something for the company. It was never about having fun. Stop twisting things. That's so sad. I'm sorry but you can't ignore the basic biological fact that we are meant to connect with each other. I really wish that you experience a nice working environment somewhere down the line, but based on the vibes you give off you would block that anyways.
