Are you designing the twimbit way or is it designing you?

Summary

Company culture is often described in abstractions, but twimbit's COO Ashish Passi and three team members, Annette, Nadia and Alexis, ground it in specifics in a podcast conversation: how new hires actually assimilate into an organisation's working style, and whether that style ends up shaping them more than they shape it. Building a culture that both values and rewards risk-taking opens the exchange, a theme that runs through everything that follows.

Participants share what drew them to join twimbit over other opportunities, how easily or with what friction they adapted to its pace and expectations, and whether they have been able to bring their own working style and perspective to their roles rather than simply conforming to an existing template from day one.

Each participant also identifies their own genuine personal strength, reflects on what they discovered about themselves through the experience of working at a fast-moving organisation, and shares what advice they would offer to someone considering joining the team.

Does an organisation's culture shape the people who join it, or is it ultimately reshaped by them?
