In the second instalment of our podcasts on Values and how they affect workplace culture, Alex Williams and TC Currie from The New Stack are joined by Sam Ramji, VP Product Management at Google, Daniel Lopez Ridruejo, CEO Bitnami; Chris Brandon, CEO, StorageOS and Dave McCrory, VP of Software Engineering at GE Digital. Their companies range in size from seventeen employees to many thousands, but the need for consistent values across the company, no matter its size, is universal. “What we’ve found at The New Stack,” said Williams, “is it all comes down to trust, respect, and integrity.”

Google’s mission, said Ramji, “is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and universally useful.” This core value is overlaid at the engineering level with the focus of “How are we doing this at the next order of magnitude?” As a company, they are working on how to provide engineers with a level of empathy for individual engineers.
