To me a company that encourages public speaking is a big perk for my own career development. When I was interviewing a year or two ago, no company had a good answer to my question about my career path. With flat organizations, it's even worse because there is less room for you to grow. If the company is helping me build a name for myself and get experience with non-technical skills, they are at least mitigating this problem a bit.
