Organizational charts of some well known companies....

LOL

You do realize that those are both simple trees (except for those two detached leaves), with the google one having more children per parent on average, while the amazon one is just a binary tree.  The google one is simply drawn in a confusing way.

edit: crap...only the first (top) two loaded by the time I wrote that comment.  I didn't see that there were more than amazon and google.

Also, AJ, you are wrong about the google tree.  It has leaves that are orphaned (but more than the 2 you noted) and some that are multi-parented.  So while both are directed acyclic graphs, only Amazon's is 'simple' (and as it happens, of degree-2).  But I'm no graph expert, even if I play one on forums.

All of them, however, appear reasonably accurate, with the exception of Oracle which I think overstates the size of the engineering subtree.

I thought you were being funny about the engineering side of Oracle being overstated....but I can see now you are serious and probably right

So..AJ...Do you have an example chart of Dreamworks you would like to post to add to the list? 

I was laughing more at the Microsoft model more than looking at the others
