At Amazon this was not an option. They closed the branch in 2004. At Yahoo i was only a contractor and, to be honest, I was glad not to be an employee there... they closed development in early 2009. I must really confess, that I don't want to work in old-economy blown enterprises ever again. Also the european dev-branches of US IT companies are usually doing localization only, nothing really innovative or game changing. This might not be the case at Google but I surely do not qualify to work at Google anyway.
