This is actually pretty easy to filter out with pointed interview questions. The problem with the approach is that many people in academia (ie, the other attendings) do the same thing, so to them, its totally fine. As I mentioned in another thread, promotion in academics is a quantity game, not a quality game.
I mean, I often sit in rank list meetings and raise my concerns about applicants if its warranted based on their answers to my interview questions and often am rebutted with "Yeah, okay, but they seem nice and they published something". I then keep my mouth shut and sometimes watch my concerns become reality when they are ranked high and go:
I guess my point is, you can push back... but you'll be pushing back against a brick wall and have to decide if the juice with worth the squeeze.
