Houston continues to have more Fortune 500 companies than any other US city after New York. If you group Plano, Irving, Frisco, and Dallas together then Dallas might take the top spot from New York.
- alephnerd 3y agoI've previously product managed F500 accounts HQed in the Central Sales zone. Most of their engineering is located outside the US, and whatever staff they do have is augmented by staffing/contracting companies. You have to remember EDS and Professional Services was basically invented by Ross Perot in Dallas back in the 70s. The only large dedicated F500 software dev teams I can think of in DFW (not Ft Worth) are C1 and JPM, and most of that is sustaining engineering. Schlumberger does some cool HPC/ML stuff but their footprint is relatively small compared to the larger market.
