Probably not. There's a "fire-fast" culture that is probably abused more than applied properly. Again, my objection to "trial period" is that it's an overt refusal to make a commitment to a candidate; at the end of a trial period, you can be released for all the same reasons as you could be at an interview: poor culture fit, lack of "passion", &c.

Do unscrupulous companies fire for culture fit? I'm sure there are lots that do; I wish I knew more about which ones they were.
