Your job this week is to review the attached "Company Culture Profile
" and go through all the steps to explore the "official" and "unofficial" culture of three organizations you might be interested in. Fill out the worksheet, and then reupload it here when you're finished.
1. Choose three different companies/organizations to examine (for example: Ninkasi, Ikea, Intel, etc.). This could be a company you work for, or want to. First, go to the organizations’ websites and review their official language on company culture. Fill out the chart accordingly.
2. Now, examine the, Glassdoor (https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/index.htm (Links to an external site.) ) and Indeed pages (https://www.indeed.com/companies (Links to an external site.) ) for those organizations, and any other unofficial or “insider” information you can find about company culture. Some major corporations have Facebook pages dedicated to workers or with potentially useful commentary (e.g. Symantec), and there are also SubReddits (e.g.: r/Starbucks) and other sources of information from past and current employees, as well as message boards in various parts of the internet.
Once you’ve found information, answer the following from the perspective of workers in these organizations. Think about Artifacts (what is observed), Values (traditions, norms), and Assumptions (what ideas are taken for granted), in particular.
3. After you’ve identified the “official culture” and “unofficial culture” of these organizations, pick one of them to write some more about below. What surprised you about this place? Do you want to work here now? How much influence do you think you can have on a work culture? Is there a culture you couldn’t function within? How do you adapt to a work culture that doesn’t fit you?
