170. I understand peoples problem with the culture thing.

I started at my company when it was a small startup, a lot of the first hires were friends or friends of friends. There was just a handful of people who worked in really tight quarters for long hours. Everyone got along, did things outside of work together and it was more of a family atmosphere. Since I started this went from a small company to a global company and one thing the founders wanted to retain was the same feel the company had when it was a tiny startup. This is where the culture was first formed and it's something retained today. I know my UK counterparts all really well and I got along with them from the moment I met them when I had to work on a long project in the London. I had the same opportunity with my Hong Kong counterparts and it was the same. I have never worked in a company where everyone got along, no one was stabbing someone in the back and most importantly you did not feel someone did not belong there based on their skill set. The culture was very organic and natural in the beginning based on friends who were like minded working together and became a blueprint that was used for new hires.
