My observation is that the Meridian management, like so many others before it, got caught out by the necessary (?) rapid expansion of the company. This is particularly true of companies with technical rather than organizational leadership. The transition from less than 100 employees to more than 100 employees is notoriously difficult.

When unplanned rapid expansion occurs, all kinds of problems surface. For instance: you need to hire quicker than you can train; you do not have training materials; you release too many new products without adequate investment in testing and support; no proper beta program; etc. etc.

Meridian appears to be a classic case of a painful company expansion and what's scary is how easily the symptoms are recognizable outside of the company...
