##Comment of the article "My Year in Startup Hell" by Dan Lyons
Tech companies are always surrounded by a special halo that everybody admire. However, as the article states working there
is not made for everybody. Most of them have defined what they call "company culture" that is basically a series of rituals,
behavior and even mindset that feels more like joining a cult than starting in a new workplace. These companies provide all
sorts of free services and internal social activities to create a playground atmosphere and make your workmates become your
best friends. Who wouldn't like to work in a place like that? If you are a person who likes to express your honest opinion
and have a life outside work these type of companies might not be the right ones for you to work for. Free thinkers can be a
threat to this Truman Show paradise so they will be quickly invited to graduate, as HubSpot call it, from that artificially
ideal experience.
