The sad reality is often startups are started by smart but inexperianced founders. They hire smart and hardworking but again inexperianced senior leaders or employees who get promoted into senior leaders.
If the company then is sucessfull enough to grow/scale they need to put in formal processes and hire departments.
This inexperianced managment team often tries to cut and paste processes and demands large companies have. "They are super successful so we should copy that!!!". However what they fail to see is that's a process of a giant unicorn... and theres no way for them to truly follow there process or pay the premiums needed to support it. Thoes unicorns grew on completely different processes/tech/people. This leads to the broken disjointed processes and expectations I see in most startups.
