Can Diametrical cultures co-exist and succeed?

There’s a saying that opposites attract! I’m not sure if the saying also addresses whether these opposites survive each other and thrive!! Similarly, when companies with fundamental cultures merge, will that lead to a successful integration and secondly to further growth. I would tend to say no because culture impacts employees’ disposition and hence it bleeds into the fiber of the company. However, I would be interested in others’ perspectives and why.
