Company culture != national culture != personal culture. Such things can be all over the place.

I've worked with people from Korea who took me 100% seriously when I said the architecture was too complex and hard to work with slowing down velocity, and although they did end up keeping it there was no outward indication of lost face and they did put in the effort to justify their thinking.

I've also worked with some British, Greek, and Russian people who were completely unwilling to listen to any feedback from coworkers, only order them around.

Even within a person: I know a self-identified communist, who is very open minded about anything except politics.
