Me too. I hate the culture that tech-companies seem to be gravitating towards in general - gimmicks like open-plan offices, frequent parties and outings, games etc. I didn't get into software development for the perks - I did it do solve problems with software, and these companies seem to be missing the point that software development requires extended periods of focus. I wish I could find out more about WhatsApp's culture in this respect. Something like Valve's new employee handbook[0] or Netflix's culture deck[1]. I can only really find second-hand articles referring to its culture [2] [0] https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/Valve_NewEmployeeHandbook.pdf https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/Valve_NewEmployee...
