I mean...it's self-evident if you've worked in any large software department. Well, with one caveat; there is the inverse, where a company's organization doesn't reflect its software, and there almost nothing gets done, and what does get done does so at a global pace. I've seen that too (oftentimes you get that in the startup that has grown too quickly; the only way anything can get done at all are the people who have been there since it was 50 people, since they know who to talk to).
