Gergely Orosz says companies rarely trust rare-profile hires with latitude

Gergely Orosz says companies want to hire people with rare profiles but, in 9 of 10 cases, 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 says such hires are rarely given the latitude that winning requires. The claim is an estimate from a single X post and no supporting data is cited.
