To me, they seem to have to have a lot of employees (940, soon 1200) for what they do. That probably makes it harder.

I'm curious what portion of the employees are development folks.

43% are in engineering, according to LinkedIn.
I would love for that percentage to go up, and we are hiring! High velocity and high scale backend work, tons of React with Calypso and Gutenberg, the most leveraged systems group I've ever seen, a really lovely-to-work-in native apps team, and of course everything coming in with Tumblr.
Why are you still pushing Gutenberg though? The reviews continue to be negative: https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/#reviews
Have you tried using gutenberg? i love it.

granted, i'm not trying to make a business selling wordpress templates, or trying to use wordpress in some way other than just as a blog. but a lot of the gutenberg criticism seems to be of the "i hate this because it's new" variety.

So you officially love React again? :)
