Is it common for a CTO to not have any direct reports?

• dilyevsky 1y ago
  Yes, usually company hires someone with a title of "vp of eng" or similar and have them do hr-mandated "people management". CTO is then freed up to do strategy and whatever else and he/she typically has the power to organize work outside of official reporting chain anyway. Not saying I'm a fan of this arrangement but it's pretty common and not the worst way to handle things.

  In my experience, yes in startups, and no in large corporations.
