Other things I've seen that fit that original concept you mention. Things you might, as a candidate, want to try and tease out in an interview if you wish to avoid them.

- Firefighting is valued more highly than avoiding fires. The way to move up or get noticed is to have been a hero during some unneeded crisis.

- The company has an excessive amount of "Kool Aid" culture, where they talk about work as if it were equivalent to family, versus some more reasonable premise.

- An unusual organizational style that may not work for you. Like perhaps the Zappos holacracy thing. Granted, that may work for some, but it could be a showstopper for others.
