Phil, thanks for reminding all of us. Cultural fit is the first reason that new hires fail. But you can’t hire favoring this more than ability to think critically and show intelligent ability to learn. It is a balancing act for managers and HR. -Dave

The biggest problem is usually the honesty of the employer, defining the specificities of their culture, the responsibilities and expectations of the position, and the actual limits of authority vested in the hire.
