The "radical honesty" culture, is it true?

And what is your opinion on it?

What software and tech stack do they have there?

Yes, what you think you know about the "radical honesty" culture is absolutly true. Prior to printing his book, it was mandatory reading for ALL BW employees. At some point Ray decided to release the principles to the public, but they had been available for employees long before that.

I miss the culture, and that is the honest truth. While it has some difficulties at times, it is far ahead of anywhere else i have worked (4 major banks). It clearly is not for everyone, but if you are the type who likes transparency, it is for you.

Software/tech stack - They are mostly a windows shop... not sure that answers your question, but i dont want to get into it in detail.

Thanks, I think I will go and read the book first.
What language do you use?
