There is something I don't understand about the way those big companies work.

From what I can see they are providing software and services.

Even the biggest software teams I have seen were rarely larger than 50-80 people.

And they were working on large complex codebase for AAA games.

Of course you need support, admin, HR, and sales, and R&D on new projects, but still.

How can they manage to productively use the time of 10000+ people?

What are they doing?
