Ask HN: What is the eng headcount of global Google and FB offices?
This is one part of the puzzle of evaluating global alternatives to SF (and the US in general).
They both list a number of locations:
https://www.facebook.com/careers/locations/
https://www.google.com/about/careers/locations/
but it's unclear where the bulk of non-American engineering occurs. Does anyone know?
- dekhn 10y agoZurich is a big non-American engineering office, there is some in Dublin, and London.
- rattray 10y agoTo answer my own question, after having combed through the above careers pages: Facebook: - Canada: Nothing. - Europe: London only. - South America: Nothing. - APAC: Nothing listed, though I'm pretty sure they have an engineering office in Hyderabad. Google: - North America: Waterloo only ("More than 350 engineers expected"). - Europe: London (biggest), Zurich, Warsaw. - South America: Nothing. - APAC: Hyderabad, Sydney, Tokyo.
