- arethuza 11mo agoAccenture has its HQ in Dublin - FAANG companies have their HQs in the US?

- jeroenhd 11mo agoFAANG usually only operate what is necessary to collect payment and maybe do some lobbying on the side. Accenture actually has a full HQ with people on the ground in Europe. But yes, legally speaking, FAANG is also EU, same way Volkswagen is an American company. That's not really how people tend to talk about these companies, though.
- seanmcdirmid 11mo ago> FAANG usually only operate what is necessary to collect payment and maybe do some lobbying on the side. Google, Meta, Microsoft do a lot of R&D un Europe. Google more so than the others. I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple had substantial R&D in Europe as well, although I couldn’t name specific sites like the first three. Maybe you meant big corp instead of FAANG specifically?
