You’re right. The slur about company culture and value has reached meme like levels. And, probably, as you say, 90% of them are just statements put up on wall.

However, I am convinced that having values and employing them everyday can massively help to recruit and retain the right people, and, to communicate efficiently in large organizations. I’m talking about those companies, where in any meeting anyone can speak up freely and say such things as “We should be doing this. This is against our values”.

I think those companies will have a strategic advantage in the long run. And, for me personally, I find it much more rewarding to work for such a company.
