I transitioned from startups (for 10 years) to a large company (for 5 years). Part of that move was adjusting from a culture of no lengthy documents to a culture full of lengthy documents, and I would never want to go back. Having explicit documentation in writing, where folks can debate the merit of ideas is so so much better than having it living in a few people's heads, unable to be critiqued.
Edit: add a word.
