I don't know if there is an _absolute_ definition to good Engineering Culture but IMO the following points may hint towards a company that is doing things right,
- You feel your work is valued, whether it's through cash/gift rewards or otherwise.
- Money is not your only incentive to stay at your current company.
- Your teammates value each other and have no (or little) ego.
- You were a better programmer than what you were a year ago? (I don't know if 1 year is an accurate scale of measurement but I hope I get my point across).
- Respect goes both ways.
- You have a clear path forward for where your career may head if you stay at the company for the next 3-5 years.
- You get enough independence to make decisions, less red-tape.
There's a lot more to it, I'm sure. But if you identify with most of these points, what does your company do right?
