I work at a well known remote company in tech. I would argue that the culture in my team is almost non-existent. There is very little socialising within the team, and many of the people, including the most tenured person, is usually too busy to even reply to a message on Slack, let alone get involved socially. I suppose people would refer to this as “leave me alone to do my work”.
However this has created an environment where there is less incentive to help out others, review their pull requests, help cover their on-call, or just give time to others in the team. The team operates on a very transactional basis (I need something from you) and little else.
I suppose some people quite enjoy that, but to me it has been very hard, and hurt my motivation to do good work.
At previous company, where we all worked in person, we all developed very strong friendships which still exist 5 years later, even thought some of us no longer work there. I don’t think I will ever get this at my current company.
