I remember a "beer test" as a hiring practice recommended on HN and blogs. And pointifications about how culture fit is important. And effectively mandatory games playing after work. And "united meritocracy" slogan bullshit.

So, go outta there with complains about hr slogan and dei.

Yes, beer test: would I have a beer with them / did they order a beer at lunch like everyone else

This was a practice that our company had to be explicitly coached away from. Early 2010s. Def before DEI was popular, which feels more like later 2010s.
