What I wonder is, what's the pleasure of working in such an environment? Do people get compensated so much that they're ok with not sharing? I like discussing about the latest frameworks at lunch, and I like working in open companies where you try to create links with a cross-department initiative.

With that system in place, don't you only get a certain type of people (i.e. the opposite of the SV youngster – rather the father who'll stay there for years, half bored half under mortgage)?
