  4. Unstable company of Skype

    By Leonid Mamchenkov

    While reading this article at GigaOm about the latest adventures of Skype, I came across this quote by Yee Lee, a former employee of Skype:

    You can agree or disagree with the practice of re-organization, but I personally had never been part of a restructuring that ran so deep in a company.  During the year I was at Skype, the company:

    • lost a CEO
    • hired and fired a CTO
    • hired and fired a CFO
    • gained a CEO, CMO, CIO, and CDO
    • created an entirely new product development org structure
    • eliminated every Project Manager role
    • fired, re-interviewed,  and re-hired Product Managers
    • created a two new business units
    • combined two business units into one
    • dissolved one business unit
    • opened a new office and hired several hundred people
    • the list goes on…

    I mean, these are crazy changes for any company to go through over the course of years.  To have that all happen within a short number of months was staggering.

    Staggering indeed.
