Maybe the logic is, they're a GIS company that happens to use a lot of tech. (This is sort of how I thought of it when I worked at a LA media company- we have hundreds of transcoders, gobs of storage, distribution via satellite and other means, but the software wasn't much more than hacked-together glue with fancy buzzword names that sales spouted to prospective clients. We were a media company that happened to need a lot of tech).

- temp0826 3y agoI mean I would say it is. Are engineers not the bulk of AWS employees? But I do see your point..."tech industry" maybe doesn't make sense as a description anymore.
