i've worked at a 30-50 person company that was (is?) super inefficient. at some point there were more directors, managers and product people than actual engineers doing the work. i remember specifically that at one point there was a team of 4 people with 1 engineer and 3 different "stakeholders"!

Probably the product people would argue that these stakeholders need to be better product-managed, while you seem to be thinking it needs more engineers... and now we're off to the races...
