The biggest challenge will be for the HR team who needs to find 3,000 productive new employees. They're not hiring unskilled labor here. When you're hiring that many people, you need to lower your standards and you're going to wind up hiring people who will be a drain on productivity.

Please remember FoxConn has 1m+ employees.

Everything I know about data centres and SOA and uptime is laughable at google or twitter scale. Likewise, everything I know about HR and culture and hiring practises is laughable at "workforce bigger than some countries" scale.

The vast majority of that 1m+ employees are low-skilled wage laborers. Finding 3000 high-skill engineers is definitely a monstrous task. Twitter is 7+ years old and they're only at ~1600 employees about half of which are engineers.

How many of those employees are in fact biorobots?
