Yeah. Increases in team size typically mean an increase in specialization and a decrease in productivity because of the larger amount of communication that must be done to keep everyone moving in the same direction.
I was responsible for a lot more at a small company, and I only had to convince one other person if I wanted to do something within my corner. At a large company, I may have to convince representatives from teams representing > 100 people.
That takes time.
But as an organization, we can solve problems that weren't possible to solve at the small company due to lack of resources and lack of people who could sit heads down and work on a problem for 6 months due to their other responsibilities.
