How the hell does Zoom have 7500 employees??

I know some of them/some ex ones. When COVID hit they became a household name where everyone and their grandma knew about them and they thought they would become the next Google. Hired like crazy, employees with old stock grants were millionaires for a while (didn't last) and then the hype died down and everyone realized they could do the same thing for free through one of the various other tech platforms.

So I hop around jobs and only my first job, during the Covid times, used Zoom. All three jobs since then has used Teams.
