Small consultancy shop, everyone knows everyone else, panic-resistant directors, speculative project. Great place to work.
Plus of course a lot of trust that people who were known to do good work could be left alone to deliver it.
(Part of being a premium consultancy was setting reasonable expectations to the client and refusing to even offer a crap job at high speed. Takes a lot of faith in your standards and customer funnel to do that, though.)
At work? I can't even fathom a working environment where I could work on anything for 3 months (hell, even 3 days) without a panicking supervisor asking why it wasn't done yet and whether I could help out with this other thing that was a crisis and why can't we just buy something or better yet use an open source solution because we need results right now.
