I did read the following on the internet, not long time ago, I don't know if they are legit numbers, they could be fake :

  Rides: 
  - Operations: 12k (+ 2.4k) 
  - Engineering: 3.8k (+ 700) 
  - Marketing: 1k 
  - Finance: 1.2k (+ 1.7k) 
  - HR: 1k (+ 2.4k) 
  - Legal: 0.9k (+ 1.2k) 
  Eats: 2.2k (+ 1k) 
  Self driving: 1.4k (+ 150) 
  Freight: 1.2k 
  Elevate: 100

They'll be coming after OP for the staffing disclosure, especially when someone in HR sees the comment

This..

I'd recommend removing the above orgchart comment, especially since it was extremely easy to figure out who you are. (WebDev at Uber)
