One thing though, is there evidence that it leads to a better working culture and perhaps stronger business? Or is the proof still to come out? Valve is at 300

One thing though, is there evidence that it leads to a better working culture and perhaps stronger business? Or is the proof still to come out? Valve is at 300 people and enormously successful. It has higher revenue per employee than Google, Apple, or Microsoft. I love the idea of open-allocation but I worry that at companies in which people drag their heels, avoid learning and other bad things that it could be harmful. My guess is that it's these corrupt, closed-allocation, intensely political companies that generate this kind of behavior.
