I believe it could also be a Role culture, as employees know their roles well and work quality is high.

I dunno, this sounds more like a cult than a company culture to me. Maybe they're just really into gloves made of fox fur or something.

Definitely got to be a Role culture. All that rigid hierarchy and standardized work screams bureaucracy to me.

I'm going with B. Role. Strict procedures and high work quality sounds like the classic organizational culture where everyone has a defined role to play.
