-iPhone filter

-Group of employees eating at the office -Sign of amazing work-life balance

-Employees who are all interchangeable and mid twenties at most

     -I don't see anyone that I'd identify as being 30 or older

-Wall of keyboards

this is at the very least the pinnacle of idealized startup-corporate culture… i am always skeptical of what these things look like in practice, because these kinds of pieces always seem to be a trailing indicator, but they do seem to have their collective heads in the right places…

Wow, tell me you're doing 996 without saying you're doing 996.
