A lot of hiring decisions. I particularly remember being strongly against one candidate for cultural fit reasons because he was quite introverted (well past normal introvert - likely bordering on a condition).
He turned out to be one of the best devops people we had. Just a wizard with infra stuff. He definitely didn't integrate into the culture, but it didn't really matter.
In my defense, it was early in my career and early in the SV years so I thought cultural fit should matter a lot because that's what I was experiencing. It was an eye opening experience to say the least though.
