thats crazy. yeah exactly. what do 230 people do there?
Data: - Ranking timelines - Ad performance - Recommendations - Business analytics - R&D
Product: - Coordinating across the above 2 and adding/measuring (new) features
Sales: - Ads
Finance/HR/Admin/Accounting/Office Manager(s)/Recruiting: - Running a company
Beyond that you have community managers, people to run AMAs, people to manage ad accounts, HR, etc... 230 people to run the one of the largest and most dynamic sites on the Internet doesn't seem out of line.
