A long list of states with maybe Georgia included. I really hope one of these tech companies opens an office in the southeast; every time I see an article like this I get my hopes up. It’s not like there’s no tech there. Georgia Tech produces quite a few CS grads and has a well ranked program. I currently live in the Bay Area but wish I didn’t have to make the trade off between career and being near family.
- auiya 8y agoGoogle has had multiple offices and data centers in and around the Atlanta area, for at least 10+ years now. They have offices all around the southeast. I passed one on foot in Chapel Hill randomly which I didn't know existed. /xoogler
- throwaway713 8y agoThis is news to me. I thought Google’s Atlanta office was closed a while back. So there are software engineers and data scientists currently working at Google in the southeast?

- auiya 8y agoYeah it's rather large. https://www.google.com/maps/place/1669+Garrott+Ave,+Moncks+Corner,+SC+29461/@33.0641124,-80.0446201,943m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x88fe5e4f59aa4ce3:0x59af518226c11476!8m2!3d33.0723572!4d-80.0388587?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/place/1669+Garrott+Ave,+Moncks+C...
- elithrar 8y agoLots of Cloud folks in downtown ATL, too!
- StevePerkins 8y agoThere's a data center somewhere around Atlanta, but to my knowledge it's purely wall-to-wall racks and the IT guys who babysit them. There may be a handful of GCP salespeople with a water cooler and coffee maker somewhere, I'm not sure. But the midtown office where developers worked (and user group meetups were hosted) has been closed for several years now. To my knowledge, that was the end of developers or data scientists based out of Atlanta (except for remote workers, perhaps).
- auiya 8y ago> There's a data center somewhere around Atlanta Several actually, and they employ more than you think. Automation folks, facilities specialists, logistics folks, sysadmin types, catering, project managers, network engineers, and yes even some developers, etc...
