🔔Telegram founder reveals company structure and employee details
💬According to BlockBeats, on August 31, the Financial Times reported that Telegram founder Pavel Durov revealed that the company has approximately 50 employees, including 30 rigorously selected engineers. Team members are selected through programming contests, and most programmers come from Ukraine.
A tipster revealed that Telegram employees are typically “super-young” Eastern Europeans and earn an annual salary of $500,000. Earlier this year, Durov told the Financial Times that the company has a near-zero employee turnover rate. This is attributed to shared values and a strong belief in the company’s mission.
Durov himself is the main decision-maker, and despite having nearly a billion users, the company’s pace of innovation resembles that of a startup. He prefers to see himself as a product leader rather than a co-director or boss, and emphasizes that no new feature is released without his deep involvement.
