I don't think that's a very generous read. I took it to mean he wasn't selecting companies based on their culture, not that he hated...well, anything. He's saying it's not a metric he uses.
It doesn’t sound like you’re flexible. You’re pretty set in your ways about disliking every company’s culture and acting like you can mold yourself to be who they want. What if they don’t want people who have to mold themselves to be X, Y, or Z?
Hard to imagine anybody less flexible and easygoing than that.
