Frankly an organization's "style" is a bunch of unexamined, calcified social biases that companies screen in interviews for because they don't like to be challenged on them. Or in the more malevolent cases its outright bigotry that's given cover as something else. Heterogeneity of methodology is actually good (especially at startups, which often operate in ways purely driven by the whims of inexperienced founders), and the people you interview can often teach you a lot. "Culture" is a joke, there's nothing cultural about these things.
