2640 employees seems like a ridiculous number for a company like Dropbox. I work at a company that's about half of that and you wouldn't believe how many different services this company runs and I still think there's a lot of inefficiency.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoIf companies wanted efficiency, they coould probably spend $400k to 10 engineers and get the best of all worlds. That's going to be cheaper than hiring a team of 50 @100k of varying quality. Except when the engineer leaves for a $500k postion. Companies basically moved towards this churn market in a way not as far off from an assembly line as you'd expect. They prefer some inefficiency if the cogs are easier to replace every 1-2 years.
