I worked at this one hierarchical software firm. It had a massive, seemingly never ending upwards hierarchy. I could never figure out who managed what, or who was who's manager. The advantage to a self-organizing company is that a lot of this complexity/inefficiency isn't there.

Everyone had Official Titles. I learned that a "Director" doesn't really direct, which seemed very strange. There were constant and never-ending secret meetings. Secrets were rampant and normal. Much like an intelligence agency.

When applying for a job at a hierarchical firm, if they really desire you they will hand you some powerful-sounding Official Title. Like "Senior Director of Advanced Mission-Critical Technology". Remember that titles cost a company absolutely nothing.

At one hierarchical firm I had so many new titles assigned to me as I "Climbed the Ladder" that I had a big cardboard box full of little boxes containing updated Calling Cards. New cards had to be ordered as I received new titles.

The Peter Principle (people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence") applies strongly at hierarchical firms. Managers can appear like an absolutely crazy concept when viewed through the eyes of a self-organizing firm.

At one hierarchical firm, I watched as around 10 developers followed around their manager at an event. When their manager said "let's go!", they all followed like a little army following their general. It was totally hilarious: A bunch of full-grown adults following some dude.

But that's basically reality for most people though, right? This is literally what people think of when they think of A Job. It's also the thing I'm desperately hoping to never face again because, yes, it's ridiculous.

Smaller companies can be easier to navigate. The huge hierarchies can be hilarious.

Ah true that. The bigger and more elaborate the heirachy the more likely it is it's just entirely self serving and basically burning money for its own sake I think.
