One of the more interesting things was the MBAs don't run engineering, it was fascinating seeing how quickly the tide can go out on management quality, especially when you're growing 20% every year -- took maybe 4 years to form a new extremely agreeable layer over significantly worse quality than the one 2 layers above it. Kiss up, kick down.
