> in the context of a larger company, all-hands are quite important to remind people of the company culture and to connect individuals to the mission. In a larger company the culture is a thing that probably nobody should try to connect to, and mission is usually long lost in the transition from small company to a large one. > Spend long enough in a growing company and you'll see people who have no idea why they're important, who slack, who feel they aren't heard, etc. And gathering all of them together every six months for no good reason so they can be "celebrated" by some guy they have nothing to do at all will make them feel heard or important? > Even in a smaller startup, celebrating things like "we got a major new client" or "we hit this important milestone" can make people refocus and rekindle their passion for the work. In small company "we got a major client" is an important thing. In a big company, a regular employee couldn't care less, as it won't affect him/her in any meaningful way.
