What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The Diverse group of employees

There is a strong emphasis on work/life balance.

The most positive experiences you will have will be with your coworkers who are not overly invested in the company - these are likely genuine people and not the toxic sociopaths.

We do teambuilding to build a positive environment.

Same responses as I gave for everything else

Working with other bright, dedicated employees. The company culture itself is horrible, though.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Become better people managers and coaches
