I can confirm. My parents aren't technical at all. They were confused when I told them people work at Facebook.

My parents were also confused that Facebook has some 15k employees.

Look at their jobs page ;)

But it can be explained as:

- Development/Ops (the technical side, from developing the services, supporting those services to debugging network problems and support of API users, it's a huge area)

- Sales/Commercial affairs/Customer support

- Localization/Editorial production

- Growth/Product management/UX and everything that goes in designing the product

- Corporate support functions (HR/Legal etc)
