Yes, counting the sales, marketing, solutions development, partner management, education, consulting, and other parts of the company, the vast bulk of the team are not in Romania, even though a large part (but not all) of the R&D team is there.

I'm not sure I agree with your original estimate (80% being outside of Romania, let alone 80% in the US). Checking some Romanian articles, they had 800 out of 2800 people in Romania in January 2021. On top of that, they have offices around the world, so it's very unlikely that all the other 2000 are only in the US.

  My original comment was "80% of the team is not in Europe either". I didn't say 80% in the US, and I wouldn't make that claim now. Furthermore, as per above link, Employees (est.) (Jan 2021) 2,863. Romanian employees are not 800 as claimed in that article, and closer to 600. 20% of 2863 is 572. Even 800 out of 2863 is 28%, and the actual number is less than 800. It seems we are much on the same page.

Of our employees, 714 were engaged in research and development. 122 full-time employees were based at our headquarters in New York, New York, and 727 full-time employees were based in Bucharest, Romania And that's from January. What are your sources? You're very confident for someone contradicting their IPO documents ;-) Plus you're moving the goalposts. I proved that more than 20% are in Romania alone (your own math says 28%), UIPath has other European offices. So it's entirely possible that around 50% of UIPath employees are in Europe. I'm too lazy to check. My point is that UIPath was started in Europe and has a strong presence in Europe. The main development center is in Europe. The top management is European. It can't be considered a purely American startup.

        It's been founded by Romanians, the CEO and founder is a major shareholder (he's the richest Romanian at the moment, $8.3bn). Some other CXOs are also Romanian, friends of the founder, I think. The Romanian R&D center is obviously competitive, otherwise we wouldn't have so many offices from purely American companies in Romania. So the direct answer is: for long enough, I hope :-)
