There are ample opportunities to bring about impactful changes with noticeable results. Autonomy is heavily favored over micromanagement. OKRs are transparent for all areas of the company, and it's clear how those relate to company goals. People are friendly and professional.

That's not to say processes & documentation don't exist here — it's just not to the degree that one might find in an enterprise setting. There were some periods where late nights weren't uncommon. But, this has largely been addressed in various ways since then.
