(not sure if you were being sarcastic, so...) >> In most cases when a company rejects you because of "culture fit", chances are there's something wrong with yourself. I completely disagree. Interviewing teams reject candidates for all sorts of reasons that have nothing to do the candidate. Reasons (valid or not) a applicant gets reject include: - thinking candidate would get bored in a menial job - discrimination - unstated hiring freeze - position is closed during hiring process - position requirements are revised - candidate wants to pair program, company does not, and vice versa - interpersonal communication challenges, mostly around language barriers - candidate seems too expensive - candidate seems way too cheap, which seems too good to be true - company believes candidate will not tolerate commute for extended period of time - candidate bugged recruiter one too many times about status of interview process - candidate overdressed for interview - candidate underdressed for interview - candidate reminds an interview too much of themself ("I'm the vision person, and we need some who likes to build the plan I come up with") - the job is a demanding grind, and everyone who previously had kids has quit - company doesn't like candidates education - company worked for a stigmatized employer - a backdoor reference check doesn't go well This list could go one forever, and none of these things are something wrong with the candidate.
