I think the difference between 100 and 150 is that at 100 people, as long as the organizational structure is right, you can still play fast and loose with corporate culture. While it'll be a stretch, each person may be able to know every other person if not by name then at least by face and role. In other words, each person's "observable universe" inside the company is the whole company. At 150, no one can stay aware of everyone else. Your "observable universe" becomes a strict subset of the company, no matter who you are. There's no longer one company, but rather 150 different companies as seen by every employee. Direction must be constantly supplied from the top to apply corrective measures to all those different visions of the company.
