For reference, a flat organization structure is where roles and responsibilities are spread out and employees often don't report to anyone besides the CEO.
For those of you that have worked in a flat organization structure, is this your preferred startup structure? Do you feel the team as a whole gets their best work done in a flat organization?
For CEO's that have implemented flat organization structure at their startup, how do you ensure every individual knows their roles and responsibilities? What drawbacks do you see in a flat structure, and how have you overcome them?

Just yesterday I prevented my team from adding an exotic feature to our product.

My hypothesis is that people don't like many features in a product as that complicates the product adoption e.g. many sales guys hate CRMs for this reason. In that sense, more features might equate to no features as users don't adopt/use the product. So, minimalistic products that solve 1 big problem (80% of the problem pie) is what people like.

That's what I think.

Like customized AI job searching, AI mock interviews, experience sharing, Gmail and calendar tracking. For me, I need to go indeed to find jobs, use simplify to apply it, interview with ChatGPT to practice, find the real interview questions on Reddit. And manage the job applications by myself to check the email everyday, and the amount of job I applied already hit 400 this month. I m tired.
