Developing too fast, good or bad?

Twitter achieved great success with IPO, which makes many employees of Twitter become millionaires. Most of Twitter’s employees love their company. However, nothing is perfect. A number of Twitter’s employees started to complain about Twitter because it grows too fast. In general, people think that growing at a fast speed is a good thing; why do the employees complain about it?

“Starting to feel like a big company, losing the startup feel”.

“Distributed office workers can sometimes feel disconnected from the HQ in San Francisco”.

“Manager inflation, and hierarchy, unfair and very nonuniform compensation”.

From my point of view, developing too fast is not a good thing for Twitter. As the employees of Twitter complain about, they are losing a startup feel. Unique culture is very important for a company, and the feel of employees is an essential part of company culture. In the beginning, the employees of Twitter feel like they were making a great company of themselves; so they were really inspired to work harder and harder. Yet the employees of Twitter started to feel like they are just the tools of profit-making tools as Twitter grows bigger. Moreover, too many managers and hierarchy make the employees feel unfair. Gradually, they will no long be willing to work for Twitter.
