Gabe Newell shares how Hollywood types have trouble adjusting to Valve

A lot of different kinds of people work at Valve, but one group may have difficulty fitting in at first.

People who shift from working in Hollywood to working at Valve are in for some serious culture shock, according to company founder Gabe Newell. Valve, the publisher of games like Portal and the operator of the Steam, has a unique corporate structure where employees never need to seek approval to work on something. Instead, everyone is supposed to decide for themselves where they would make the biggest contribution.
