It's a short quiz (about 2 minutes) that figures out what kind of work culture you actually thrive in, then shows which of ~200 companies match how you work. We just shipped a change today where your full result shows without creating an account, you only enter an email if you want to save it and get a compare link.

The thing I'd genuinely love eyes on is the result page. Does the archetype feel accurate to you, and is it clear what you'd get by saving it? Earlier testers said the quiz was fun but I have no idea if the result lands for people outside my own bubble. Brutal feedback welcome, that's what I'm here for.

Spent the last while building this. The idea came from watching people (me included) take a job for the title and the money, then realize a few months in that the way the team actually operates is what drives you up the wall.

It scores a company's culture across a handful of dimensions, and after a short quiz on how you like to work, it shows how you'd personally fit. You see your result for free with no signup wall (literally shipped that change this morning).

Genuinely after feedback from other builders here. What would actually make you trust a culture score instead of rolling your eyes at it?

I manage a small team now, and for years before that I was the quiet one on big teams, so some of this is really me talking to my younger self.

Quiet almost never meant I was disengaged. Usually I had a pretty strong read on what was going on and just didn't want to jump into a room where two louder people were already volleying back and forth. If you only get input from whoever talks first, you slowly end up missing the people who think the most carefully before they say anything.

The thing that helped me most was asking ahead of time instead of in the meeting. A quick "we're deciding X on Thursday, what do you think" in a DM gets me so much more than putting someone on the spot live. Same with asking for a short written take before a discussion. The quiet folks somehow have the sharpest points the second it stops being a verbal race.

The bigger shift for me was realizing I'd been treating a fast response as good thinking, and they really aren't the same thing.

Anyway, curious how the rest of you handle this. It's the part of managing I still feel like I'm figuring out.

I worked at the firm for a stretch and left recently on good terms. Looking back, the thing that took me way too long to figure out was that nobody is going to hand you context. The people who seemed to move fastest weren't smarter, they just asked the basic questions early instead of pretending they already knew how everything worked.

The other one was realizing how much your actual experience comes down to your immediate team and your manager, way more than the logo on the building. Two people can have completely different years depending on who they end up sitting next to.

Curious what other people would add. If you could go back to your first 90 days, what would you tell yourself?

Hey all — built this to fix a problem I kept hitting: I'd take jobs that looked great on paper and then quietly burn out on the culture (too much hierarchy, no work-life balance, a mission I didn't believe in). So I made a 12-question quiz that scores you across 6 culture dimensions, gives you a "culture archetype," and shows the kinds of companies whose culture fits it.

Free, and no signup to see your result. What I'd most love feedback on:

• Does your archetype result actually feel true to you?

• Is the quiz too long or too short?

• Anything confusing in the flow?

Happy to give feedback on yours in return.
