Agree with the attention to details. Details are crucial.

But in my experience there is a kind of so-called "perfectionists" that won't work well in complex enviroments where:

1. they actually have to weight in the importance of details (and the cost of dealing with them)

2. Details aren't always obvious, and are easy to miss

So these kind of perfectionists might end up very focused on obvious details that don't matter that much and aren't useful to be taken care of in terms of cost-benefit relation, while ignoring not-so-obvious details that might actually matter more.
