Structure is key: very few layers and lots of direct conversation. Decisions like the meritocracy program can be made in minutes, not months. We keep tribal knowledge from 20 years but move with the freedom of a four- or five-year-old startup. That scale-plus-flatness mix keeps the culture feeling young.
