Hi Rabia - thanks for noting this!
The discrepancy that you observed between the "size" and "employee_count" field is due to the different methods used to calculate each.
Specifically, the "size" value is the company's self-reported employee count that the company admin has selected on social profiles. In this case, following LinkedIn url will show "Company size 2-10 employees".
The unreliable nature of this field is exactly why we created the "employee_count" field that is unique to PDL. This is a bottom-up count of all of the current primary profiles that we have associated with this company (in this example, for a total of 19,276 employees). We believe that this is much more accurate and reliable than the user-selected values in the "size" range.
We have also created an FAQ on these potential discrepancies, as well as any with our premium monthly "Company Insights" fields:
Hope this helps!
