One wonders with these big companies if the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. Seven years ago, Google closed the Krakow office (>100 engineers) mere weeks after finishing a refurbishment [1].
It's not clear to me how large this Warsaw office is or is going to be but it seems to be getting a lot of Cloud investment.

- amscanne 5y agoAs noted in your link, that wasn’t a divestment. The Warsaw office already existed at that point (and was bigger than Krakow, I believe) and that is essentially where the positions from Krakow were moved to. In this context, the news is an actually a continuation — more investment in Warsaw.
