Every company that grows into a big enterprise seems to run into the same pitfalls:<p>- Too many middle-managers<p>- Technical debt<p>- Lack of innovation<p>- Shady business practices<p>- Overpaid executives who are disconnected from reality<p>The company may continue to pull in massive revenue, but it feels like that's due to inertia more than innovation.<p>Meanwhile the company's public image gets worse and worse. And while that's a controversial metric that's hard to measure, it's important, since so many of these companies used to pride themselves on "not being evil" and "making the world a better place."<p>Are there any examples of companies that have handled 'being big' particularly well?
