I very much agree with this, being quite familiar with large companies. What's interesting is that like with most scaling problems, you don't realize that scaling a company actually means scaling people, and that the numbers can actually be very high, until you actually experience it. In my case, the understanding came quite late, but completely transformed the way I saw my work, my company, and my management. Basically, at some point, you will need a boatload of people - the optimal number and what too many means being another question!
