In recent years, companies have invested a lot of time and energy into improving company culture. Shiny new fitness centers, break rooms stocked with refreshments and equipped with couches and big screen TVs, flexible work hours, extended vacation time, free meals, educational programs — the list of employee perks and benefits goes on. Companies like Zappos and Google are leading the way in the company culture movement. Zappos even screens prospective employees through a cultural fit interview to ensure they’re the right fit for the company’s culture.
