18. Best ever example of
great culture in
organizations ;

19.  It would almost seem wrong not to mention Google
on a list of companies with great culture.
 Google has been synonymous with culture for years,
and sets the tone for many of the perks and benefits
startups are now known for. Free meals, employee
trips and parties, financial bonuses, open
presentations by high-level executives, gyms, a dog-
friendly environment and so on.
 Googlers are known to be driven, talented and
among the best of the best.

20. Conclusion drawn at
last…..
Remember ,that the best culture makes all
employees feel safe and welcome, never excluded
or uncomfortable.
Focusing on "culture fit” alone makes it difficult
to hire and welcome employees who are different
than the prevailing culture, even if they’d be an
asset and great counterbalance at your company.
