a company that looks like it has a good, lively culture is way more attractive than one that does not. this seems obvious, no? clearly there was more to the interview than just pointing to a ping pong game and a bar-- the visible (albeit, staged) culture was just icing on the cake.
- antjanus 13y agoWell, not really. I've interviewed at a bunch of places with different cultures; however, what I see on that day is not what I think will happen in the future. I've worked and interviewed at plenty of companies that put on the best front. Just like that ping-pong thing and similar equivalents. But as soon as I started working at these places, I realized that it's not like that and I've learned to ignore it over the years. The "lively" culture is most likely a product of the upswing that justified the hiring. Meaning that a week later, everyone will be just as shut off as at any other company.
