Firm lists sense of humor as a requirement in a job posting. Even weirder because it’s sandwiched between professional reqs like yrs of experience, excellent research/writing skills etc). Do you think it’s indicative of anything cultural? I do have an interview next week so I’m def gonna ask about culture and retention.

It’s either a sign of a good culture or a sign of a horrible one. Nothing worse than a toxic environment where the “sense of humor” is whatever the 75 year old managing partner finds funny and it’s some iteration of an offensive (and unfunny) joke that you’re pressured to laugh at.

No, it's hard to tell. I think the posting just means, don't be a robot.

but i've seen good and bad firms use it. So there is no way to know until you interview with them and find out on your own!
