Yea I read somewhere that Reddit has upwards of 2,000 employees. Like, what.
Majority of them hired last year, back in 2021 they only had 700. The only reasonable explanation would have been adding hundreds of new admins/moderators, but I don't think that was the case, so I have no clue what all of them have been doing for the last year and a half.
Half are probably involved in the ads side of things.
My guess? 250 devs 200 administrative folks (secretaries, hr, accounting, etc) 50 executive level 1500 marketing and communications and sales folks
:)
Don't forget legal. Defensive and offensive.
