"A very specific culture and you have to really have a certain personality to fit in."

Sounds a lot like high school to me :-)

But still, you have to take it as a "no hard feelings" thing and move on. The company I work at has an extremely casual attitude and some similarly extremely casual personalities. We've had a few employees that could do the work requested, but clearly didn't fit the culture. Nothing against them; it just didn't work out.

Except they make you attend high school whether you fit in or not.
