If someone asked you what the culture at your company is, would you be able to answer? I'm considering leaving for another agency, but my friends and family keep telling me to make sure I find another place with the same 'culture'. I'm not sure if I know what that really means .. what does it mean to you?

Culture is basically “how it actually feels to work there day to day,” not what’s on the website. Think: how people talk to each other, how feedback is given, how late folks really work, how wins are celebrated, and what gets you promoted or pushed out.

Nonexistent. To be honest with you, that's exactly how I like it. I get weirded out by companies that make a big show of their culture, values and the like. Always feels performative and culty to me.

Great freaking question. This word is thrown around so loosely but I think it’s also personal in how it’s defined. I agree with the other poster that it’s how you feel coming into work everyday and there are words that are importsnt to me that I think about — inclusive, empowering, risk taking, collaborative, competitive (with each other or with other agencies?), grind culture or is life balanced and outside interests and passions embraced and encouraged

Hi! Does anyone know what kind of knowledge is needed to crack the Data Scientist interview at Google?

I plan to another 6-8 months in preparation and upskilling myself before I even apply.
Any help and guidance is appreciated! Thanks :)

Would folks be open to participating in a “PM Office Hours” style discussion?

Flexible on format etc; here’s what I’m thinking:
- We choose a particular problem for a week (/month?) which a lot (all?) PMs face regularly. E.g. “stakeholder mapping”
- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful

People who have cheated in their previous relationships, how did you come to realize the reason behind your behavior? A close friend confided in me that she has cheated in all her previous relationships and struggles to understand the reasoning behind it. She feels a lot of shame and is trying to understand why she does what she does.I have suggested therapy but she is not ready yet. How did you folks arrive at the root cause behind your behavior? Advice? Book suggestions that I can pass along?
