Why a Company's Culture Needs to Be Established at the Outset
Career website Comparably just published its list of the best companies to work for in 2017. And one of the things that helps an organization make the list, says CEO Jason Nazar, is building a great company culture from “day one.”
He told Cheddar that it’s something he’s prioritized at his own firm.
“We actually didn’t start with our go-to-market strategy, or how we were going to raise millions of dollars in venture capital, which we eventually did,” Nazar said. “We started with what were our business’s values and what kind of environment we wanted to create.”
One of the companies that stands out in terms of culture is cloud software giant Salesforce.com.
“They had a great company culture across multiple dimensions. They were rated as a top workplace for women, a top workplace for diversity, a top workplace for managers.”
Other names that made Comparably’s list of best companies: Google, HubSpot, Facebook, and Cornerstone OnDemand.

Disney content has gone dark on YouTube TV, leaving subscribers of the Google-owned live streaming platform without access to major networks like ESPN and ABC. That’s because the companies have failed to reach a new licensing deal to keep Disney channels on YouTube TV. Depending on how long it lasts, the dispute could particularly impact coverage of U.S. college football matchups over the weekend — on top of other news and entertainment disruptions that have already arrived. In the meantime, YouTube TV subscribers who want to watch Disney channels could have little choice other than turning to the company’s own platforms, which come with their own price tags.

Universal Music Group and AI platform Udio have settled a copyright lawsuit and will collaborate on a new music creation and streaming platform. The companies announced on Wednesday that they reached a compensatory legal settlement and new licensing agreements. These agreements aim to provide more revenue opportunities for Universal's artists and songwriters. The rise of AI song generation tools like Udio has disrupted the music streaming industry, leading to accusations from record labels. This deal marks the first since Universal and others sued Udio and Suno last year. Financial terms of the settlement weren't disclosed.
