Various people working together in an organization form groups that develop unique thought patterns and behaviour.
Internal interaction in many such groups can be collaborative, task-oriented or just a broad focus on the primary goal.

Group Thought Patterns

A growing company is in essence a team of individuals of varying skills who come from different cultures, creating a unique company culture by working together.
This beehive of individuals shapes the assumptions, beliefs and values of the organization, apart from the surface-level elements like branding, company benefits, hierarchy and the various HR policies.

The People Make The Company

As new people join the organization, the company culture further evolves, leading to new challenges related to scalability, communication, decision-making and the various work-flow patterns.
As the internal integration clashes with the various external factors, the innovative and fast-moving qualities often turn into frozen, bureaucratic systems.

Culture is an ever-evolving, emergent occurrence. Leaders often take employees of off-site gatherings, read a book, or try to rewrite the company’s values and vision. 
It will only be an eye-wash if it does not impact the employee's daily experience at work or if the leaders are not adaptive to employees needs.
