Another pitfall was not staying scrappy. The company was incredibly hierarchical and a bit top heavy, with dozens of directors and VPs. A lot of people hired based on mere "background" i.e. worked in cleantech previously rather than based on ability to lead or build. Departments were fairly siloed as a result of the management layers.
