Some of the values are specific to software engineering (i.e. pair programming, agile methodologies), but it’s more that the profiles are of the engineering team(s) within a given company.
As you can imagine, there are subcultures within an organization and just because all of the parents on the marketing team take advantage of paid family leave doesn’t mean the parents on the engineering team do. If I were say a 30yo woman planning to have my first child in the near future, I’d like to know if there were any parents on the eng team I was about to join.
Similarly, open communication on sales probably looks pretty different than it does for devs.
The values are from the perspective of an engineer evaluating different employment opportunities. What would you or I want for our day-to-day and from our future teammates?
