Quote - Daz isn't even 10 people I bet...lol. If you include the PA's perhaps....

I was never quite sure how people thought Daz was this big, huge company. In the scheme of the American business landscape, it's a mom-and-pop. They are big to us, but not in the general scheme of things ;).

Laurie, I've always known they were a small outfit. They merged with another company but the other company is in Israel, so that didn't add any folks. From what Randy said earlier in this thread, it sounds like they just hired a few more people to help with the workload.

I always laugh when I see someone referring to them as you might refer to say Autodesk. Many posters have some very unrealistic expectations from them. I don't as I started working in CG with Animation:Master, from Hash, Inc. which is a family run business (used to be Martin and Marshall Hash and maybe still is, with 2 or 3 programmers who doubled up on customer service and IT/website work and less than a handful of other folks. I remember when one of Martin's kids took my upgrade order on the phone!) pmG Worldwide (project messiah) is another small company. DAZ is a little bit bigger, but not much.

From their Christmas Party pics on Facebook and including folks I didn't see in the pics, probably closer to 35+ at DAZ though some folks not in the party pics may be free-lancers not based in Utah.
