If that’s $260M pa for 1500 employees then that works out as $40k revenue per employee per quarter.

Compare with APPL and FB doing [correction: over $600k] per employee per quarter.

Not a value judgment. But I only recently started noticing these numbers and it really puts the big players’ spending power into perspective. Hiring engineers away from FAANG is incredibly expensive.

Edit: thanks for the corrections in the replies. I read figures for FB and AAPL that are reported quarterly but missed that they are for a trailing 12 month period, not for the quarter itself.
