I know what you mean. But appearances can be deceptive. How are you measuring efficiency? While at a big company it may seem to take more people more time and effort to move the wheels, the wheels are much bigger and they have much bigger effects. Look at the revenue-per-employee numbers for some large tech companies: http://www.businessinsider.com/tech-companies-revenue-employee-2017-8 http://www.businessinsider.com/tech-companies-revenue-employ.... (Not shown: Netflix, whose numbers should probably be up at the top of the range). Ignoring the top end outliers, those guys are averaging around $0.5-1m. If the company grows by 10%, that’s like having every ten person team bring in $5-10m in business through established channels, and find a new $0.5-1m revenue stream every year. That’s pretty efficient.
