I watched a company I worked at try to invent a culture out of the blue when they became a new company, having left a large parent company. They seemed to make it about the method of getting work done far more than the environment the work was being done in. We were trying to create this culture around working hard to grow and strengthen our reputation as a new company.
Office culture, IMO, is not about the way you work. It's not about feeling pride about getting work done. It's about being in surroundings that are comfortable, stimulating, and motivating, and being surrounded by people that you can trust, respect, be respected by, learn from, and never feel subservient to. A good culture is one where everyone feels like an equal; just a bunch of nice and talented people working TOGETHER and not against each other.
