They had roughly 6 employees and 20 beefy servers when they sold to Facebook. They were solidly profitable. Sort of wish they went the Craigslist route rather than taking Facebook billions.
- MaxGabriel 6y agoI’m seeing 55 employees when I google
- andrewbarba 6y agoThis is very wrong. I worked as an intern at WhatsApp in 2013 and they had over 30 employees, a lot were actually customer support. And “customer support” doesn’t do it justice. Every feature shipped was translated across 30 languages and CS was made up of people who could do a lot of the translation in house as well as provide actual support. I was an engineer on the website that dealt with all the support articles and translation, but the platform teams were all two engineers per platform, and then the backend engineers who worked magic with erlang.
