At $company, this is core to how decisions are made. There's no need to get stuck for an extended period of time on "two-way door" decisions; they can always be reverted. Inversely, decisions that cannot be reverted require due consideration. When there are multiple pending decisions, categorizing them into "one-way door" or "two-way door" decisions can help greatly.

Is $company a large Seattle-based ecommerce and cloud computing company?

Because that company talks about one way and two way doors a lot.

I also worked there and what I like about the phrasing in the quote above is that it surfaces the possibility of turning a one-way-door into a two-way-door.
