A much stronger emphasis on fit during the interview process

Agreed^ People who are assholes, too pompous, take themselves too seriously, or who don’t seem like they’d be pleasant to work with get filtered out during interviews.

It’s a little more than that 😅

Also strong official mentor/buddy program.

Suspect the slightly slower promo schedule plays into it as well.

I was reading a post in another group that asked how folks were celebrating Diwali outside of India and 2 people mentioned that their whole street (in the US) exchanged sweets, put up lights, and pitched in for a community firecrackers permit. This had me wondering if this happened in the US for Eid as well in cites where there is a big Muslim population. Also, how do you all celebrate Eid? For folks who are grew up in the west, is there anything you plan on doing differently with your kids?
