Regarding culture: I once had an interview where one of the co-founders slash CEO (who had the last word on my hire) decided to interview me and showed me some code on part of their - at the time - current production systems. I wanted to test their so called culture, so my answer was basically "This is retarded. I'd like to meet whomever wrote this and give him/her a kick in the teeth for such an ugly implementation of X and Y. I would have done Z..." The CEO answered in turn "That would be me and you're hired. I don't like people that suck up to me, and I want to be told when I'm being an idiot. And I will do the same. Can you live with that?" -"I'm sold!"
