"Culture fit" is quite stupid. A fair amount of conflict is key to fiery technical debates and keeping out the complacency. Imagine if the parliament worked like that. Hire people who would own a responsibility and have the ability to execute it too. Everything else needs constant gardening.

In the several startups I've worked at / with, the technical debates were not an input to whether or not the company would succeed.

A culture where everyone worked to the maximum of their ability and where the sum was greater than the parts, those places tended to do pretty well.
