Key Values' staff is just me, Lynne. (Hi there!) Companies self-select the 8 values that best describe their engineering culture, and then I work closely w/ them to qualify them. All of the content is curated, and it takes a lot of time, care, and thought to put together.
To answer the original question (Who decides whether they meet each of the criteria?), the answer is you, the reader. "Work/life balance" can mean any number of things, and people often forget that there are countless ways to define a given term. The goal is for teams to describe what it means to them and let interested applicants decide whether it resonates w/ them.
- tysonzni 8y agoI think it makes sense to ask companies to explicitly list cultural values they prioritize the most as well as what they value the least. Evaluating/creating a company culture is in a way really about understanding what the tradeoffs and sacrifices are.
- ddebernardy 8y agoOut of curiosity, how do you deal with (the many) companies that say their values are A, B, C when they're actually X, Y, Z? (I don't want to name shame prior companies I've worked with but this mismatch struck me as a fairly common occurrence.)
- DyslexicAtheist 8y agomy guess is not at all. it depends on how he charges for the service. since it's not applicants or job seekers paying, the agenda is set by their clients. no matter what the marketing says the values and how it is optimized gets defined by those who pay.
