One of my previous employers was exactly like that, but it was not for lack
of trying to organize better. THey were in a niche market competing against
some heavy duty multinational companies...and holding their own because they
could "turn on a dime" and give the customer immediate service. Ws it
frustrating working there? At times...but it was also highly creative and
most of the time a lot of fun. The reason, we were large enough to be
respected in the industry and yet small enough that it was not unusual to
have the company president working alongside you to solve a problem.
Would I do it again? In a heartbeat, but that me. People previous to me
left because the development efforts drove them crazy. I left because I
couldn't take the desert.
