Corporate cultures can vary widely. Some may view intraoffice competition as an effective method for driving results. Depending on your temperament, this could be exciting or stressful. Individuals inclined toward cooperation might do better in a more supportive environment, one that favors collaboration over competition.
These are just two examples. Whether a culture is right for you might hinge on their attitude toward training, their management style, their products, or any number of other factors. Research the company and ask plenty of questions during your interview. You’ll get a sense fairly quickly whether the company’s culture is right for you.
