I’ll say those are just the perks and I won’t treat the above items as culture.  
  
 Culture is more about- the responsibility you’ve, the work you’re entrusted with, the freedom you’ve in delivering it, you feel heard, you’ve power or you’re empowered by your org/manager/founders. 
  
 Folks end up conflating culture with perks. Consulting companies with shitiest work culture have some of the best perks.

Agreed. Would you call a top-down approach an integral part of the culture of an org?

Very nicely put and I can’t agree more. 👍

Product Owner

What according to you makes for great org culture? WFH? Leave Policy? Free food?

I'm curious, what kind of perks that a company offers ( WFH, Systems, Leave etc ) are important for you and which aren't and would impact your decision to join a company. I feel I've taken a lot of these things for granted in my career and now that I talk to some of my friends, some of these things do impact your general psyche after joining a company.

Can you think of a better name for this kind of toxicity?

I am finalising offer of SDE2 with Zepto but to get a clear picture and compare with competing offers, I want to understand what non-salary perks does zepto offer?

How much health insurance? Are parents covered in health insurance?

Is free meals available? Or some meal allowance (apart from salary)

Company provided cab?

I understand it is 5 days work from office, but are one off WFH requests accepted? How about Holi diwali times, do they allow longer WFH during those periods?

What are the relocation benefits offered?

How many leaves are there? Are leaves encashable?

Any other perks that might be being offered?
