I've seen this play out in some heavily funded (mechanical engineering) organizations as well.
Some are incredibly top-heavy, with decisions being flipped from the experts to the administrative staff who have at most 3-5 years of experience at the company and industry, but often less.
The organizations that are self-funded from selling specialized products and not either government bids or wealthy backers are usually much more bottom-up organized.

There’s a small cadre of people who know what they are talking about to some degree, who build whatever and define an operational process. Then the operators do whatever they do, and usually aren’t empowered to do anything that changes the process.
