I have never heard someone raise their voice in a meeting in my 5 years here, have taken multiple long leaves (and during my stint as a manager supported others doing the same,) and while there certainly are differing points of view passionately debated, everything I have seen has been “on the table” and without the subterfuge I’ve seen elsewhere. It is an intense culture (no slackers) but I’ve found it very forthright.
