My wonder is how large a company can get before the founder can no longer force strong culture.
The decision to favor their own products over others seems like a short-sighted goal to help an exec get a bonus rather than help their customers
I am wondering how they can handle short-sighted, highly-motivated individuals self-dealing rather than looking out for the company and its stated culture.
