Culturama analyzed 5 million employee reports to provide insights into the work cultures of 1,500 global companies. With this data, you can learn how different work cultures compare in terms of 130 common workplace problems.
Hello Product Hunt! 😄
I'm Thomas, and on behalf of the whole team, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Culturama! 🎉 Our tool offers insights into the work cultures of the 1500 largest organizations. We analyze millions of publicly available employee opinions in natural language to break down barriers that prevent the public from understanding what it's like to work in different industries and organizations. 🚀
Culturama is perfect for job seekers, HR professionals, and recruiters. Job seekers use it to compare different companies and industries to find their ideal workplace. HR professionals employ it to identify areas for improvement and benchmark their cultures with industry/competitors. Recruiters use Culturama to find companies that match the expectations of their candidates.
What sets Culturama apart is that it focuses on analyzing problems in organizational cultures rather than just on positive comments that are often fake. Instead, we evaluate cultures based on the relative intensity of reported problems.🧐
At Culturama, we believe that the low engagement issue in the modern workforce must be addressed as it has severe economic and societal implications. Our goal is to help people find satisfying jobs and prevent organizations from ignoring bad practices that impact their employees' well-being.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on Culturama, so please comment below and let us know what you think! We hope it helps you find your dream workplace! 🌟
Cheers,
Thomas and the Culturama team 😎
@xorcerer93 Great question! In our view, the most intriguing metric for corporate work cultures to consider is the comparative prevalence of different workplace issues across companies. This is the primary metric that Culturama focuses on, as it is designed to showcase the frequency of 130 problems (like unrealistic goals or bullying) in a sample of 1500 companies.
@tomasz_urbanski Thank you, let's say we want to take a comparative look at the turnover on one axis, what would be the most informative metric on the other axis?
@xorcerer93 Thanks for the question! If you navigate to the "Correlate/Correlated Problems" page, you can discover which workplace issues are most strongly correlated (either positively or negatively) with high employee turnover. You can access this information by following this link. Specifically, in cases of high turnover, the strongest positive correlation is with uncaring leaders. Therefore, selecting "uncaring leaders" as the second axis would be the most appropriate option. You can also explore the strongest negative correlation using a similar method.
@tomasz_urbanski I'm absolutely astonished how much power this gives back to me. All those years I was on the mercy of potential big clients, not knowing what to expect. It's not just a boon for journalists and jobseekers, but for freelancers too. Thank you so much!
This is an awesome way of aggregating data. It takes something that humans couldn't see (culture) and makes it visible. What surprising things have you learned about company cultures from doing this?
@david_glass, here are my top 3 observations:
1. Big Tech employees with supposedly creative jobs very often feel that their work is meaningless.
2. Dealing with rude customers is a top 3 complaint among restaurant and department store workers. I started tipping more after I learned that.
3. Top US universities have created bustling commercial areas around them, causing high living costs and difficulties for academic staff. One might say that they have fallen victim to their own success.
What caught your attention?
@david_glass Thank you, David! Let me add 3 more observations that were surprising to me:
1. We tend to believe that the most stressed people are white-collar employees in big tech/consulting firms, etc. However, among the top 10 companies with the highest level of stress, only 1 is from the internet industry, while 6 are restaurant chains.
2. Analysts under-report under-staffing issues that plague many healthcare institutions. It's a real problem. Out of the top 20 companies facing the most significant staffing challenges, a staggering 15 are in healthcare.
3. There is a strong negative correlation between work-life balance and high salary. This should be obvious, but somehow many people are trying to find a job offering both. In some cases, they might succeed, but the chances are rather slim.
