It depends on what your definition of success is and where you're hired. There are plenty of books describing the way that each of the big tech companies work. Also plenty of books on how to get promoted to say a management position.

Success: getting through the probation period, not getting on PIP, getting recognition for work done, setting myself up for promotion. I’ve read a couple of accounts of people getting sacked on Team Blind due to not speaking up in meetings and various other reasons which I’m guessing could be avoided.
