A Guide to Finding the Right Culture Fit

Finding the right fit is about joining a culture where you can thrive.

OneAID Community member Celena Westlund recently joined us on a panel to share candid insights about pursuing new career paths. Here she offers helpful guidance on finding the right culture fit.

When you’re deep in the job search process, it’s easy to slip into “please pick me” mode — sending applications, preparing for interviews, and hoping for the right offer. But remember: you’re interviewing them, too. The interview is your chance to understand whether the company’s values, leadership style, and work environment align with how you do your best work.

This guide is designed to help you go beyond surface-level questions and uncover what it’s really like to work there — how teams collaborate, how success is measured, and how leadership shows up day to day. Use it as a conversation tool: choose a few questions that genuinely matter to you, tailor them to the company, and listen closely to how they answer.

Finding the right fit isn’t just about landing a role — it’s about joining a culture where you can thrive.
