I would have guessed a total headcount of 2K-3K. Anybody has an idea of the approximate headcount by department ? 10K full time employees seem a lot to me.
There's likely a whole org working on integrations with some oddball apps and devices. They likely make millions from this edge use case since Spotify operates at such scale. There's likely an org that makes small 0.1% improvements to server infra that saves millions. Every possible edge case bug is being hit at their scale. It's worth having extra engineers to tackle those.
Not to mention the shear business complexity of what they do. Billing, paying royalties, advertisers, legal compliance etc.
10k employees. For a huge company that operates across the globe. That seems small.
Thanks, that was also my guess. Would be interesting to know headcount by department. Hence my question.
It paid 200m of a 3.5 year deal announced May 2020 in a single quarter?
None of that adds up.
In which direction?
