Of course they are. More head count means more process. Releases take far longer. Ideas scrutinized. When you’re small you’re lean. You can make decisions off of gut feel, not what 20 product owners have justified through hours of user research.

What’s it like at Cash App? Do you have freedom to ship or hamstrung?
Within our teams we have great autonomy to choose what we work on and how we lead our organization. Our team sits amongst others that make up the other big features of Cash. As we've grown (with caution and pacing) I've noticed that our own rate (as a company) of shipping has slowed and there are moments when decision making has suffered or appeared stuck.
