Uber has over 15,000 employees? That seems a lot. That's almost the same headcount as Facebook. Why does Uber have so many people?
- CardenB 9y agoI would wager facebook has more employees than that, and uber likely has many more employees that aren't software engineers than facebook to handle operations around the world.
- continuations 9y agoAccording to this[1] Facebook has 17,048 at Dec 2016. So it's more than what Uber has but not by that much. Good point about the local ops people Uber needs.
