Gergely Orosz says companies want to hire someone with a rare profile, but in 9 of 10 cases they will not trust a non-cofounder or non-founding engineer to take the risky, sometimes controversial steps needed to execute quickly and beat competitors. He adds that such hires are rarely given the latitude that winning requires.
