> If the end result is failure, the company goes bankrupt and the hiring manager no longer has the ability to hire. This is NOT what I've seen, first hand. Usually were talking about a series "X" round of funding. Hiring is scaled out. When the end result is a failure (many times over), usually you'll see someone like the VP of Engineering fired and replaced. This does not equate bankruptcy.
