~4000 for Twitter (although I vaguely recall a culling recently, not sure how many they let go).
- camus2 10y agoI'm curious what does these 4000 employees do at Twitter ? let's say half of them are engineers, what are these 2000 engineers working on ? Twitter is mostly CRUD and messaging.
- LeonidBugaev 10y agoAnalytics, Reporting, Ad management and Biding platform, Fraud detection, and way more. This basic CRUD app is just user-facing thing, and now remember that they are making money not because of you, but because of publishers. This is where main functionality is.
- pm 10y agoThere'd be more than the consumer-facing systems. Whether they require 4000 people to run it all is another question, but without a deeper look into what's running, it would be hard to surmise.
