Sunnyvale, California–based Intuitive had just more than 10,500 employees at the end of March, CFO Jamie Samath said today on a conference call to discuss Intuitive’s first-quarter financial and operating performance. That employee count is up 26% from the same time a year before, and of the 2,100 new employees, he said about 900 work in manufacturing.
