One of the most important pillar in any startups or an organization.
Analysing culture in your employee, while you are recruiting them can be the most efficient way.
A team with high cultural values is like a concrete house and no cultural values is like a paper house. When a fire litted from a place the paper one will instantly burn off, and concrete one saves you.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
