- charlesdm 10y agoThey want to show to their investors they're burning their VC money. Didn't you know that having 700 employees is a lot more prestigious than just having 50?

- shostack 10y agoIf they want to grow beyond "just a team chat app" that takes a lot of engineering talent to do it quickly enough to compete with MS, Google, FB, etc. who are all moving into this space full force. Additionally, to sell into the enterprise you need a sales team, so a lot of those are probably sales people on commission.
