I think it was 5 employees. If each cost $200,000 (salary + benefits + office space + ect,) that means Patreon was spending $1,000,000 / year.

What were they doing?

I worked on a major product that was known for our security benefits, and we didn't have a team of five on "security." We made sure that everyone understood best practices, and eventually had a "head of security" that oversaw our product and other products as well.

So, what was the security team really doing?

lol, security and IT are similar here.

If you're good at your job so there's no issues: "What are you _really_ doing?"

If you're bad at your job so there's tons of issues: "What are you _really_ doing?"
