In this episode, we dive deep into the complex world of engineering culture. We explore what defines culture in an engineering organization, how to identify areas that need change, and strategies for influencing and transforming team dynamics. Drawing from our experiences at Amazon and other companies, we discuss the challenges of cultural transformation, the importance of mechanisms, leadership principles, and the delicate balance between pushing for change and avoiding burnout. We share practical insights on how individual engineers can become catalysts for positive organizational shifts.
