I think culture fit at the team level is real but firm-level culture is BS.

I disagree. I think firm culture comes from the top down. I’ve worked in several firms and this has held true. Of course you have differences in teams depending on your manager and co-workers. However, firm culture and expectations influence people’s behavior patterns in my opinion.

100% what associate said. a firm with several thousand employees is way too large to assign an overall culture to. now teams however DEFINITELY each have their own flavors and fitting is and should be an extremely important determinant on whether or not you get an offer or whether or not you should accept the offer

Culture fit is def a real thing. Especially for newer companies.

Suggestions on a town that is resonably close to the Boston Airport and still affordable (under $700k for a single family home), also have a kid so schools are eventually going to be important. Suggestions?? Resonably close to the airport to me is an hour or less of car/commuter ride. I am thinking we may have to travel at some scale over the next year and beyond hence the proximity to Bos Logan is important.
