The Very Best Company Culture Decks on the Web
A curated collection of the most inspiring and effective culture decks.
Explore how companies like Netflix, Facebook, Etsy, Spotify and Buffer use their culture decks as a tool to describe their unique culture and embed their values, mission, vision and purpose into their organisations.
Netflix kick started the online culture deck trend by posting their unique company culture deck online, as a means of communicating their culture to new and current employees, customers and partners. I do not believe that Reed Hastings ever imagined how this 125 page document would resonate with the broader internet community - as of this writing this deck has been viewed over 17m times on Slideshare and Sheryl Sandberg called it "probably the most important document ever to come out of the valley".
There is no simple formula for creating great company culture, and you definitely cannot copy another company's culture, but you can learn from how other companies have created a meaningful and effective culture deck.
Highlights from top culture decks:
- eShares is managed like a professional sports team, not a startup or a company
- Possible Health - we are transparent until it hurts
- If we do not create the thing that kills Facebook, someone else will.
- Spotify: If vision is where you are going, culture is what makes sure you can get there
- Valve - working overtime for extended periods indicates a fundamental failure in planning or communication.

Spotify: building a strong engineering culture
Culture is the stuff people do without noticing. If vision is where you are going, culture is what makes sure you can get there.
What makes a good engineering culture: - Stuff gets done - It gets done well - People are happy - Leaders provide direction and guidance and GET OUT OF THE WAY - Success is celebrated - Failure is used as a way to learn
