Personally for me, coming into a company that was so transparent was very difficult at first, especially as an attorney. However, over time I realized how much I developed and grew from it. I became much more open and accepting of criticism and feedback. Instead of becoming defensive, I listened to it and learned from it. I also welcomed all of the extra eyes on my work, it helped me create much better work product, just as the open source community does with open source code. When you are transparent, people know what you are doing and that you are genuinely putting the efforts in to do your best. You never know what is going on with others behind closed doors.
