Question: when it comes to hiring, do you value experience and skill or cultural fit more? Because I believe the focus on the culture fit trend is getting out of control.

Experience and competence always. I feel like the "culture fit" thing is just internet noise. It's a nice-to-have, not a must-have.

It’s nice if someone can fit into the culture, but I have found if we focused too much on culture the work suffers. Skill and experience has to matter more.

"Cultural fit" is a euphemism for "people who look and believe just like us" and results in zero diversity of thought, experience, culture, or literally anything.

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
