A former company I worked for was what I call "intentionally disorganized": other than high-level direction, management was completely hands-off, and everyone was expected to self-organize and manage their own work, typically among loosely-organized teams with no formal accountability.
Some people seemed to thrive there, but for me it was a devastatingly bad fit. My ADHD (clinically diagnosed) certainly played a major part in this. With everything being up to the individual, it was too easy for me to get caught up in all the myriad things a proper org structure provides, but that I had to do myself: prioritization, assistance with career growth, feedback loops, and the like. Everything was a struggle, and I was ineffective to the point that I was fired.
