Company Culture

Definitions

  1. The shared values, norms, habits, stories, and behaviors that shape how a company actually operates day to day. In tech, company culture is often discussed in hiring and branding, but it shows up most clearly in how power, conflict, and mistakes are handled.

    In plain English: The shared way a company really behaves and works.

    Example: "The company's stated culture sounded great in interviews, but the real company culture became obvious during the first incident and first missed deadline."
