Deep dives
People care which company they work for
The belief that people care about the company they work for is a lie. While individuals may initially be attracted to certain companies based on culture or perks, the reality is that the team they work with matters far more than the overall company. No matter how distinct a company's culture is supposed to be, the experiences and feelings about work vary greatly within different teams, departments, and divisions. It is the team that individuals are on that truly affects their experience at work.
