What are some potential challenges of maintaining a like-minded culture in a rapidly growing company?

Some potential challenges of maintaining a like-minded culture in a rapidly growing company include managing the increasing demand for more output while ensuring the quality of work doesn't suffer, supporting an over-stretched staff, and maintaining efficiency, productivity, and creativity. As the company grows, it can be difficult to preserve the original culture due to the influx of new employees who may not share the same values or vision. Additionally, the pressure to meet higher expectations can lead to burnout and decreased morale among employees.

Question was asked on:

Catmull had been heavily influenced by his time at the University of Utah, surrounded by inspirational professors and inventive classmates. They challenged one another to new heights of computer science and maintained a culture of collaboration and camaraderie. An entire year went by after "Toy Story" before he realized what his next professional aspiration would be. He was motivated by the challenge of creating a like-minded culture at his growing company, Pixar. How could Pixar continue to produce grade-A content while balancing the increasing demand for more movies? How could Catmull, as their leader, support an over-stretched staff while also maintaining efficiency, productivity and creativity?
