In my sole experience working at a company (startup) that embraced those who understood category theory, those types were not the ones producing any discernible value for the company. They instead attempted to browbeat certain thinking into others at the expense of their focus. I'm a fan of "sane FP," but the pseudo-intellects left a horrible taste in my mouth on the subject of the underlying math that I very likely will never recover from.
