> strong culture at a company is something that that will be adopted by new employees
This is not true. The relationship is bi-directional. Yes, culture can influence new hires, but the reverse is also true. I've seen first hand that the addition of one toxic individual to a small to mid-size team can massively harm the culture of that team. Heck, this is just as true in our personal lives. We've all had that one person who brings down an otherwise healthy group text.
No, it doesn’t. An actually strong culture at a company is something that that will be adopted by new employees regardless of whether they completely fit preconceived notions or not. Over emphasis on culture fit during the screening process generally leads to mono cultures that only appear to be strong, but are actually quite weak because they are never challenged.
