If you don't own the company you work at, you shouldn't be curious, at least not for their benefit if they don't compensate you accordingly.

In the past I did many mistakes like pulling all nighters to because I found a way to make checkout experience more pleasant. That resulted in massive increase of revenue and none of that benefitted me. Or unblocked other team, they couldn't find a reason why their app would randomly crash. Board was panicking as client was going to pull out. I saved the day. Multi-million contract gone through. "Thank yous" didn't help me pay off debts.

Only be curious for your own stuff. For corporations? Do bare minimum.
