I've worked at places with varying levels of process. I don't get enjoyment or fulfillment from following a process, defining processes for others to follow, or from enforcing process on others.
When I have choices, I would rather be paid to do things I enjoy and let me feel fullfillment than working at a job where I have to spend a lot of time doing stuff I don't enjoy. You can say, that proper process enables more productivity, but I haven't experienced that, and building better process isn't something I'm good at, so it makes sense for me to seek out opportunities with less process and more individual ownership and deployment freedom so I can be a cowboy.
