@buru5 having worked in tech before, it really depends. Small startups of tightly-knit people are often really chill and cool to be around, whereas things seem to get gradually meaner the further the startup is in funding rounds.

The last place I worked at was like a revolving door of people getting fired left and right, and I definitely witnessed way less human empathy there. There was surface-level decency, and lots of talk about progressive values, inclusion, and things of that nature. But some of the fake-nice people were power tripping, and seemed to take pleasure in being remarkably shitty towards people under them.
