Totally agree with your point about zuckerberg. Zuckerburg evolved over time, but the culture did not, to my knowledge, radically diverge from zuckerberg. Facebook as a whole made that same cultural journey to maturity, which I think only reenforces the point.

Re: "founders can change" - I don't think it's the role of the staff to wait around while a guy spends years in management learning not to be a dick. If they put up with it, and it happens, fine that's great, but it doesn't impact the linkage between CEO and culture.

>charitable, intelligent billionaire CEO.

The creepy and megalomaniacal strains of his personality, though, still seem to be there in full force and are reflected in his company and product.

That may be true, but it doesn't really change the outcome -yes, you could stick around and hope the CEO does a Zuckerberg, but realistically the best strategy is to move on.

lol zuck wasn't an "immature frat boy"

dude spent his time studying latin, programmming and taking psych courses.

evan spiegel of snapchat is more your typical transformation from immature college kid to billion dollar company CEO
