Culture and Values Fit Questions

Assessment of how a candidate's personal values, behaviors, and day to day working style align with an organization's stated mission, values, and cultural norms. This includes demonstrating understanding of how values show up in decision making, engineering practices, and people processes; giving examples that evidence customer focus, ownership, collaboration, inclusion, or other prioritized values; and discussing how the candidate would contribute to belonging and psychological safety. Strong responses also acknowledge any differences, describe how the candidate would adapt or influence culture, and include questions that probe how the company measures and sustains cultural health.
