corporate culture

Company's shared values

Corporate culture is the shared values, attitudes, and practices that characterize a company or organization.

It encompasses how employees interact, how decisions get made, and what behaviors are rewarded or discouraged.

The startup had a casual corporate culture—no dress code, flexible hours, free snacks.

Corporate culture shapes everything from hiring to how meetings run, often distinguishing one workplace from another even in the same industry.
