The best companies in the world develop a unique culture…

…It takes effort

“A ten-year study of the world’s fifty best businesses, including

Apple, concludes that those who centered their businesses on a

culture of improving people’s lives had a growth rate triple that of competitors in their categories.

John Stengel - “Grow: How Ideals Power Growth and Profit”

"A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its

people".- Mahatma Gandhi

Risks

Company Editors are unable to verify and approve the content esp. in large companies

Employees do not contribute in the fear that their testimonials will follow them forever

Companies facing difficult times might want to tightly regulate what their employees say or not create a Culturebook at all

Primarily, this is a create-once-a-year use case Companies are unwilling to share the email addresses for their

employees or the employees within teams Competition: Facebook or Twitter or any one of the social networks

decides to build a similar product for brands or companies Unable to scale fast enough to match demands / traffic Other members post invalid info or rumors about companies in comments
