A company 400 person company with only Amalur to show for it... no wonder this was gonna end bad.
The last company i worked in ended up the same. We developed construction projects, large scale, hospitals, schools, libraries, etc.
On the basis of a couple of good projects, the company felt it was the right time to expand and bought out most of the small construction equipment and engineering firms, we ended up with almost a monopoly on bidding for projects, the problem was that we had a huge firm with hundreds of employees, most of the engineers were earning absurd salaries due to the contracts they negotiated when their firms were bought...
... but the market was too small to support such expenditure, and then the monetary crisis hit Europe hard, construction sector first.
We lasted 2 years, then it all burned down around us (figuratively).
Lesson i learned, start small, get a healthy base and then expand conservatively.
