About 10 yrs ago we were interviewing candidates for a C# position. 10 mins. into it, Gandalf (the Grey) sitting in front of me was nonchalantly knocking answers out of the park in an as Gentlemanly manner as possible. I was done with about 15 mins. to spare and he filled in the gap as he talked about his experience with Multics! In passing, the candidate had mentioned that he kept 10 min. logs of everything he did as a productivity tool. This got blown up into possible OCD issues by the team lead and hiring manager and Gandalf got denied. The reason given was that he was not a "culture fit". In reality, the team lead was an insecure egomaniac and the hiring manager deferred to the lead (it was his team). So it would be great if you could drill down the "culture fit" rejections to something very specific.
