Most organizations have copy-paste principles.
“We love our employees.” “Client value creation.” “Best people.” Principles like this are the same from one company to the next. But what does company leadership truly value internally?
From the outside, you don’t know. You spend time and energy in interviews, negotiations, and onboarding to discover whether you’ll like the company or not. You won’t know if it’s a wash until you’re in the belly of the beast.
Sometimes you can glean the principles in interviews, but, let’s ignore that for a second.
