Money isn't everything
Working with talented people, free food, and a good salary.

Choose managers with people skills.
Focus on diversity and inclusion with urgency.
Improve the culture; help your employees succeed, don't just expect them to succeed.
Avoid hiring in masses and continuously firing brilliant people.
