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.
I guess you're lucky enough to be in a large company where the majority of people actually read and properly understand what has been written. I've had plenty of experience with supposedly senior people fundamentally misunderstanding core concepts of the technical work.
