Yeah, that's true. Eventually you get the second batch of people who insist on doing things their way, and then that culture slowly dies.

I haven't seen any company recover from that, ever. Once they balloon to 250, 500, 1000, 2000 employees, any attempt to recover by injecting new blood is futile, you only burn out the new blood and enrages the people in the new culture. Then it dies.

This happened to a company I worked for, whose domain just expired this week, I will probably purchase them.
