I was also thinking that those numbers are really weird, for a company which does infrastructure(fileservers)-in-the-cloud. Obviously some devs doing software for various platforms, business-side folks and so forth. But 1500:12 is a really weird ratio, given the core function of the business. If they're not spending on infra staff... what staff are they spending on?

Seriously, 12 people controlling all of that sounds like a liability. Are they allowed to meet all together?

I expect that 1300 of those people are in sales.
