I am surprised that the picture in the article is their working environment. Is it really necessary in a tech company that everyone be asses-to-elbows like so?
Doesn't look too different from my current employer's office, in terms of the ass-to-elbow ratio.
Those look like pretty standard 48-inch desks comparing to the size of the 27" screens - just like 99% of other workplaces I've seen. Do you know of places where larger desks are remotely common?
I don’t know what is common, but apparently I’m living the high life in that I have a L shaped desk and cubicle walls so I don’t have to see my fellow man.
You don't know how good you have it... over the past 10 years the luxury of a cube has been going to the grave, like private offices for everyone did a ways back.
A lot of major tech companies employ a lot less people you'd expect. I think tech companies in general try to leverage tech to scale up their business without increasing their employee overhead by a lot, but that can clash severely with the reality that properly moderating a platform is very hard to automate, and therefore hard to scale. It may very well require tech companies to bite the bullet and hire admins en-masse. Would be interesting to see how this would effect the bottom line or if its even doable.
I'm surprised they employ that many, not that few!
