I briefly did some junior consulting work for a large organization with multiple departments, and made a few errors due to the (natural but wrong) assumption that surely everyone at the large organization was working towards the same overarching goal. Instead, departments, or at least department heads, were in intense competition with each other. So e.g. pointing out a flaw in a proposal by my boss / client, rather than getting interpreted as helpful truth-seeking, was instead seen as backstabbing. Nowadays I understand that better, but I originally found this to be a very confusing experience.
