So is this an acquisition or a recruitment drive?
- ytch 9y agoMuch like acquisition. From some local rumor (maybe from HTC's Taiwan employee, but not confirmed yet), Google won't acquire all team member, they want RD mostly, not the management people. And google will have a internal interview for those RD to decide who can stay, then sign a two year work contract with them. so that's some different compare to other google employee.
- ytch 9y agoMore leak from HTC's internal mail to Pixel team: https://i.imgur.com/krONzs1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/krONzs1.jpg Rick Osterloh will come to Taiwan for detailing the next step to them.
- foobaw 9y agodoesn't HTC also have a US R&D division (most likely they do to work with North American carriers and Qualcomm). Do you know what's happening to them?
- ytch 9y agoNo news about them currently. The mail only says he will go to HTC's Taoyuan and Taipei office today. and almost all announcements specified the "Pixel team". Maybe the team is located at the two office only.
- hbosch 9y agoI believe HTCs R&D lab in Seattle is all Vive, so, likely unaffected.
