I wonder how they're defining and measuring "culture". In my experience in Silicon Valley it's a real thing companies and their HR departments invest a significant effort in defining and promoting (lots of community and charity engagement under the brand, promoting "high-performance", and some legal-driven bits about work environment). The popular cynicism is its about "control" and managers' ability to glare at them, but that doesn't seem like it would exite the C-suite. Productivity would. Any company big enough to have an IT department is measuring computer usage, and they may not like what they see. The strong need to get the kittens back in the box just seems odd absent the motive. Not strong enough to pay people yet, though.
Each firm need to figure out what set of work rules and compensation optimizes output, use of space, and worker satisfaction. It probably needs to be pretty granular by kind of job.
It's all about underwriting the expense of CBD office space, and supporting video rental shops … err … cafes who would otherwise go under.
