Now Amazon and Apple, I can understand why they would need boatloads of employees. Google has Android and Chrome and self-driving cars, etc... so that explains their headcount. Facebook's rather large headcount (>25K total) is baffling to me, and I know that's because I'm missing something...

Here is a list of Facebook's current (123 as of this post) job openings in Austin:

These pretty much run the gambit of tech industry jobs, from what I can tell. I'm not in said industry. We do have some facebook forumers...maybe one or more will chime in with some insight.
