I worked at a remote first health hardware company with 35 employees for 1 year. From my perspective, there was no culture whatsoever. There was one zoom party where the company sent everyone snacks and playing cards. But aside from that, nothing. Only work talk. No side conversations, therefore no friendships. I think step one is to have the zoom call on for much longer than just the scheduled meeting time, which we never did.

Did people enjoy this?

  If people don't enjoy it and crave friendships in their coworkers I figure they'll just initiate (non forced) conversation with whoever they want to be friends with (like adults).

  I don’t know. I never talked to other employees about the company.

I don't see how there can be "no culture whatsoever." Culture lives in things like how decisions are made, how performance is evaluated, how information flows, whether and how criticism and feedback work, what you do when you disagree, balance of written vs. verbal communication, how technologies are chosen, etc.
