- CapitalistCartr 14y agoAs he said, "On(ly) in the startup world . . . " In the rest of the business world, that would be a decent mid-size company.

- encoderer 14y agoThat doesn't really strike me as relevant? Many "businesses" are one or two people. Obviously "giant" is subjective but considering the largest companies are a few orders of magnitude bigger, I maintain what I said earlier: Only people who are immersed in the startup world consider Dropbox a "giant" company.
- biot 14y agoDespite having 100 employees, I wouldn't consider a chain of car washes with 20 locations and 5 people at each location to be a giant company.
- shin_lao 14y agoJust to add some objectivity to the debate, in France, between 250 and 4999 employees a company is considered to be an "intermediate size company" (as long as the revenue is below 1.5 G€). I don't know the American standard, but I'd be surprised if it isn't similar.
