Culture at DoYouBuzzv0.1
As with everything we do and ourselves, this
document is a continual work in progress.
We try to show here the culture we share at
DoYouBuzz. We try to explain values that we
really value. And how we work.

Always work in progress Def : “Organizational culture is the
behavior of humans within an
organization and the meaning that
people attach to those behaviors. Culture
includes the organization's vision,
values, norms, systems, symbols,
language, assumptions, beliefs, and
habits. It is also the pattern of such
collective behaviors and assumptions
that are taught to new organizational
members as a way of perceiving, and
even thinking and feeling.
Organizational culture affects the way
people and groups interact with each
other, with clients, and with
stakeholders.” (Wikipedia)
See good examples with Buffer & Netflix
Culture eats strategy
Why culture is so important ?
It’s best to hire a person with 60% skills and 100% culture, than the opposite.
In a startup company, with smart people, a strong culture is a very good way to
align people, motivate them in a long-term perspective, attract and keep the
best, etc.
Strategy is too rigid in the actual world. What you really need are smart people,
fully-commited, with common and high objectives, who take initative every
days, who learn everyday, and who love to work together.
# What are our dreams ?

We want a good pay.
