TBH I'm more willing to see a negative filter on these claimed team-values. "Risk over stability" may sound attractive for me (as well as many new grads to polish their resumes) several years ago, until you realize it's just an analog to "move fast and break things" and we all witnessed its side-efferts.
- xirdstl 8y agoI came here to say the same thing. There are some attributes that would be red flags to me, and it would be helpful to filter out companies that select them.
- Melchizedek 8y agoExactly, such as "uses agile methodologies". Also, I would like to select for less subjective factors like "private offices", not "thoughtful office layout".
- foo_in_bar 8y agoMore granular filtering would be helpful. I bet from some companies point of view thoughtful layout equals open space.
- Radim 8y agoThat was my immediate reaction too. If a team promotes some of these values, I'd want nothing to do with them. Is there an explicit filter for negation? "Want / Don't want / Don't care", as opposed to just "Want / Don't care".
- high_derivative 8y agoI had a similar (although cynical reading): Flat hierarchies: Chaotic leadership / implicit and unwritten hierarchies with CEO's favorites. Values diversity: Politicised office focusing on SJW issues and quotas, not diversity. Fosters psychological safety: Empowers toxic characters to bring their drama into work. Empirically, from the limited placements I have seen, the more a workplace outwardly focuses on one of these aspects, the more they are ridden by toxic tribalism/outrage culture.
