culture fit is a phrase that means what the person saying it means, and without knowing that, you can't infer much. I've seen it mean anything from
- read those stupid pickup artist books, hit on chicks in the marina after work, and hire a shitty designer because she has big tits and you think you'll have a better chance at sleeping with her if you work with her (there's many reasons I didn't last long here)
- are you down with tuesday night strip club
- are you fucking obnoxious to be around for 40 hours a week? (There are people in the world for whom the answer to this question is a strong yes.)
- do you have your shit together enough that you'll fit in a more mature team with relatively low supervision, lots of work getting done, and who really want to work from 9-5 unless there's an actual emergency?
In case it isn't clear -- the majority of places I've worked would (thankfully!) consider putting tuesday night strip club on the calendar a firing offense.
