You're up at Columbus Circle?
I really have no idea what's happening with this and the news was just as a surprise to me as it seems to be to everybody else (I say this as a Googler).
I have to wonder if you'll stay where you are or you'll move to our Chelsea office at some point (which is very nice btw). That depends on if you'll be integrated into local or run as a subsidiary.
If you're integrated into local you may want to give some thought to what career path you want to transfer into. SREs (Site Reliability Engineers; basically a sysadmin/programmer hybrid) are what keep sites up here. Software engineers are the more typical programming route. I believe there is some interviewing that goes on to find the right fit for everyone but I really don't know how this works with acquisitions.
Anyway, welcome aboard.

- kelnos 15y agoIf Zagat gets integrated into Google Local, then there effectively won't be a Zagat to stay with.
- falconindy 15y agoThe physical office stays for the forseeable future, and the name is definitely not going away -- that was part of what Google wanted, and paid for.
- kelnos 15y agoI know, but the parent was talking about something specific (regardless of the likelihood of it happening): Zagat getting integrated into the Local team.
