Having recently abandoned the Columbus area, I can safely say the Midwest has a long way to go in the culture department. Even relatively new startups in that area tend to adopt the conservative workplace culture that the old guard is still addicted to.
- amyjess 10y agoHonestly, that sounds like a good thing to me. I find SV startup culture to be degenerate, but it does sound nice to have a large amount of job opportunity in tech industries around. Putting a large tech investment in a region that values conservative workplace culture honestly sounds perfect to me. I like my cube farm :)
- shostack 10y agoIt is a double edged sword. Sure there are companies that abuse say...unlimited vacation (not all do),but I could never go back to the standard two weeks that most Midwest companies do. There's also worse treatment in many ways for employees since there simply aren't as many good job options, or options period in some cases. Companies take advantage of this accordingly.
