bro culture
Macho workplace atmosphere
Bro culture describes a social environment dominated by young men who bond through aggressive camaraderie, heavy drinking, sports, and casual sexism.
Associated with fraternities, tech startups, and finance, it prizes loyalty to the group, competitive masculinity, and dismissiveness toward outsiders—especially women: The company's bro culture made female engineers feel unwelcome.
