Definitely. The company just felt bloated. Feature teams needed 7 or 8 people working constantly on single screens that would be an afterthought in an MVP, just to keep up with the constant changes in architecture and infrastructure. Lots of over-engineering and NIH from veterans that didn't want work on teams. Lots of rewrites due to performance issues. All that without any noticeable change for the customer (other than the website becoming slower). VCs and middle-management kept asking for more developers, though, so everyone was happy, but the general perception was that we would do just as well (or better) with a half, or a third of the staff.
