Once you hit 150 I think you're in the second "something weird" phase, the first happens once you pass about 50 or so.

- wasmitnetzen 4y agoMy employer will probably pass 50 in a year or so, when I joined we were less than 10. I'll keep an eye out!
- jacobr1 4y agoLogarithmic scaling factors for your management layers. Below 50, you basically have a flat org. Even with nominal mangers, everyone is effectively on the same team. 50-150 you need an actual management layer, but these managers are all on the same team, and are also close to the ICs on their team so they have the full context of the entire business between the management group. 150+ you need to introduce a manager-of-managers layer which means you have increased overhead across the board in addition the other communication and coordination challenges.
