Snippet - How do You Uncover a Company's Real Culture?
06/25/21 • 9 min
Listener feedback and support has been incredible thus far, and really took off since the last episode. All you guys are amazing! One listener asked "How do You Uncover a Company's Real Culture?"
This episode directly answers the question. If you want to know what it’s like to work for a company, you can’t exactly go up to an interviewer or HR and ask “What’s your company culture like?” Summing it up in one answer isn’t totally possible, and often yields a polished, marketing-approved answer than a candid discussion.
So how do you do it? Find out by subscribing and listening, like so many of you have already thus far.

How many days in the past 30 days do you feel lethargic? You wake up with a list of things to complete, and end up doing none of it? Or you dread waking up, and wish the day is magically over? Perhaps yesterday at times you feel great, but it lasts only a few hours at most, and soon you have that sinking or nagging feeling that something is just ... off. It has happened to many of us, me included, in my 15+ years as software engineer, manager, and architect.
This episode’s guest, Karthik Viswanathan, is taking an extended break from work. He is living through this right now, so he is perfectly positioned to identify burnout, look for ways to reduce likelihood of burnout happening to you, and what to do when you feel burnt out.
