I think just as there are good salespeople and bad salespeople, we've got to do our part as job seekers to sniff the bad ones out. Some of those folks, rare albeit, genuinely mean to help. For me, a focus on company culture is super important but that comes with understanding that it's a business. And sometimes there will be tough business decisions that need to be made. I'd much rather work for a company who at least tries to foster good culture rather than one that completely ignores it.
