Ask HN: Are you really interested in office environment or company culture?

4 pointsby starikovsover 6 years ago
Hi all!<p>Based on the Stackoverflow&#x27;s survey (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;insights.stackoverflow.com&#x2F;survey&#x2F;2018&#x2F;#job-priorities) I see that 13.6% of developers say that &quot;The office environment or company culture&quot; is the priority for them. But on the other side I don&#x27;t see much job postings which mention something about these things.<p>So, Is it really important for you? What is the most important for you 1) office environment OR 2) company culture?

&gt;What is the most important for you 1) office environment OR 2) company culture?<p>Office environment is either a subset of company culture, else has massive overlap with it.<p>If you are asking for comparison between company culture and <i>physical</i> work environment (i.e. the tangible sites, facilities and decoration) again there is massive correlation&#x2F;causation between the two, and are very intertwined subjects - Here is a fairly comprehensive overview of the current literature:<p>THE IMPACT OF THE PHYSICAL WORK ENVIRONMENT ON ORGANIZATIONAL OUTCOMES: A STRUCTURED REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE - Paul Kegel<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jfmer.org&#x2F;doi&#x2F;full&#x2F;10.22361&#x2F;jfmer&#x2F;76637" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jfmer.org&#x2F;doi&#x2F;full&#x2F;10.22361&#x2F;jfmer&#x2F;76637</a><p>&#x27;Office environment and Company Culture&#x27; are bundled together for the above reasons. - In summary, it isn&#x27;t really possible to compare as an &#x27;either&#x2F;or&#x27;. Data would be too noisy and interrelated to split, and if split would have little value that could be derived anyway.

I have a feeling this is mostly something that can break an otherwise great job, mostly a negative modifier. So the default is no influence, so not worth mentioning?
