IDK, employee count seems like a red herring. To me it&#x27;s much more impressive to do a lot with a small number of employees (like WhatsApp&#x27;s 18M users&#x2F;engineer [0]). Amazon incredibly impressive, I just mark the high employee count as a point against them rather than in their favor.<p>[0]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;whatsapp-serves-900-million-users-50-engineers&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wired.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;whatsapp-serves-900-million-use...</a>
