The only real issue I see at Kinnek when it comes to culture is communication from the top-down. Our Leadership Team goes to great lengths to document everything they do so that everyone in the company knows why they arrived at the decision on which they settled, but there are STILL people at the basest operational level who ask me why we're doing it the way that was proposed. That tells me that while we're making a very strong effort to be transparent and communicative, we're missing the boat on HOW we're communicating. In summation, Kinnek is great at the volume of documentation but could use some help in the quality of that documentation or the messaging that surrounds a specific Leadership decision. If there was one thing I could change at Kinnek, it would be to foster a more inclusive decision-making process to help avoid the question of, "Why are we doing it this way, again?"
Communication. I think we go to great lengths to communicate, we're just bad at it. We have so much documentation, many, MANY meetings, and still people can be unclear on certain things that were discussed during the meeting, presentation, or miss a tldr on a document.
Honestly wouldn't change a thing about the culture. It is one of the companies best features. The office offers a cool, laid back setting while working with an extremely supportive group of co-workers. Our company events are also never a letdown.
I wouldn't want to change the culture. Things can get a bit silly here but it's important that work remains fun.
