I worked at Sonic Foundry for many years, and 2 (Eccentric) and 3 (Know when to dial it back) were highly valued and incentivized. Most everyone there were very bright, yet independent and outgoing (and often a bit crazy). We had a blast around the office, but always knew when to buckle down when meeting deadlines or schmoozing customers. Everyone in Madison knew it was a fun place to work, which gave us a lot of the best applicants. And even if you were competent, you usually didn't last long if you didn't fit into the "culture".
