Flat organizations have arrived in tech. When I took a tour of Facebook last week, I was shocked at the lack of visible structure in regard to closed offices, etc. Everything was open and collaborative, it was pretty sweet - especially all the snake boarding. :)
To an outsider it was a bit overwhelming, like walking into an active bee hive. The volume of pure talent that place contains does not thrive under micromanagement.
- 3pt14159 17y agolack of micromanagement != flat organization the appearance of flat != lack of hierarchy I work in an open office (looks pretty flat if you're just walking by), but there certainly is a CEO - VP of Marketing/Sales - Sales Director - Sales Person structure, and we only have about 35 people working here. No one is micromanaged, but the organizational structure attempts to make individuals responsible for their team(s).
