It doesn't have to be a dying company. Many companies that try to transition from startup -> small company -> medium company -> megacorp tend to run into periods of change and insanity in every one of those transitions. I suspect its one of the reasons why most companies die out at some point: the failure to focus on product and focusing instead on politics. Teams turtle down, avoid responsibility (i.e. blame) at every opportunity, the product turns to shit as nobody wants to move a muscle in case anything breaks.
