I work at a company with ~1k engineers. Every every system failure, we email the entire org a postmortem google doc describing what went wrong, why, and what we are doing to prevent it from happening again. Postmortems are also as their own JIRA project.

  They happen about 3-5x month. I typically read the once that are most relevant to my role.
