The original 21st-century 'big tech' culture
Early days: established the model for what we think of as the standard "hip, employee-driven" corporate culture that cares about long-term values (to employees, to users) over short-term values.
Ever since revenue has begun to slow, and AI has begun to disrupt, the company culture has shifted to a more typical "short-term revenue" one. The company is now worried more about survival and efficiency, like most companies are. The original culture is fading.
Management is still highly valued, but the number of managers and leaders is being cut drastically as the company continues to downsize and redefine the business.
