Having a large number of engineers is fantastic for making the company valued higher.
Directors love having more engineers under them.
Overall I've been highly speedy with 4 engineers, and slowly adding a 5th. Sure there are limits, but I think limits makes us think about being more efficient with how we build. It is an entirely different mindset.
Once you decide to "go big" you end up in this situation where you usually literally throw a dozen engineers at the problem and the problem goes away. I've seen designers spend 6 months on a _single page_. Because they can. and they get paid crazy money for it.
