I have this pet theory that the best companies in the future will be those that act more like cults (putting the "cult" in culture) than companies. As the jobs that actually need doing become more and more ambiguous (how specific is the job description of a "growth hacker" compared to the median job in the 50's?), companies will have more and more trouble hiring for specific skills(reading anything about hiring developers will evidence this). So the differentiating factor will be culture fit rather than specific skills.
Does this sound like it will have problems? Yeah, I think so. But does the current system have problems? (Left as an exercise for the reader)
There's one more tidbit that comes to mind: what happens when the "core values" indicate that it's time for the company to close up shop? I'm not sure there's a catch-all answer, but this is a question for anyone who pays lip service to the idea of culture to ponder.
