> Why? The tech world, like any other business place, is a mixture of people with different attitudes and personalities. If you clearly would have a personality clash with someone, why would it be worth hiring them?
Easy, because they have the knowledge and experience you need for the job. If you're a professional you'll find a way to work with anyone. Yes, you'll have personality clashes from time to time but I have yet to work at a place where that didn't happen.

Right but there are tons of people who have that - it's worth waiting for someone with both that and the cultural fit. As was mentioned in one of the lectures on "How to start a startup" Airbnb took 5 months to find their first hire for exactly this purpose.
- zaccus 12y agoThere might be tons of people with knowledge and experience, but they're not in your typical applicant pool. They tend to already have jobs.
- psaintla 12y agoThat is totally anecdotal, there is zero evidence that their emphasis on culture had anything to do with their success. Don't get caught up in cargo cults.
