Thank you so much for this great insight. Programmers and developers definitely have so many opportunities thrown at them that I could completely understand why they would be turned off by the "one-size-fits-all" messages you receive. Even though I'm not a programmer, I definitely took the time to research a company's culture and values before I either applied or accepted an interview request. I'm sure this is even more true for programmers/developers now that many companies are using Agile environments. If you're going to be in that environment, I'm sure you'd want to be working with people that are inspiring, collaborative, and just generally awesome to be around 40+ hours a day.
I'll be passing this posting on to my colleagues so they can provide the additional information that programmers are looking for.
