pretty good. nothing to write home about but has everything you’d want. small offices have some rapport esp among the senior ranks. if you put effort in the office will be a nice place to be. keep in mind though most people only stick around a year or two - ofc culture isn’t the first thing people think about when it comes to considering the job.

I thought the so called selling points of smaller offices to be overrated. It’s close knit among the lower ranks, your ability to be close knit with leadership depends on whether you spend time talking to them AND working with them (and possibly also sucking up to them). Also, the warmth of these relationships depends on your performance. Makes total sense, but don’t expect people to go out of their way to help you if you hit a slump - which is one of the things you’d expect from a “tight knit” culture in a smaller office.

This is not any worse than the larger offices and there’s the advantage that it will feel less anonymous than a place like NYC.

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)

Pros: ?

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.
