How many big tech HQ's meet that criteria?

every sufficiently large company is to some extent a tech company.

Avshalom | karma 10515 | avg karma 3.36 · | 2017-07-15 22:31:08

you have only named a few though; 'almost every single large tech company' requires a particular definition of large tech company or a lot more than a few to be a useful(ly true) statement

Isn't that every big tech company?

Exclude tech giants. FORTUNE100 or FORTUNE500 something like that.

The same is true for many tech companies.

And you know that because you've worked at which large tech companies, exactly?

nesyt | karma 128 | avg karma 3.37 · | 2019-08-23 18:16:12+00:00

This is true of most (perhaps all) big tech (perhaps all) companies.

IBM has 426,000. AT&T has 294,000. GE has 287,000. Those are big companies at least in the tech community.

That's pretty much all tech companies besides some young startups.

ghaff | karma 44589 | avg karma 1.65 · | 2022-01-03 22:16:50

There are a ton of large tech companies once you get beyond the obvious "hot" ones.

geerlingguy | karma 19554 | avg karma 5.95 · | 2020-06-14 21:42:50+00:00

It seems like the majority of the top 50 or so tech companies do.

uoaei | karma 4516 | avg karma 1.21 · | 2023-11-16 17:11:43

Big tech companies are extreme outliers. There's only a small fraction of big tech compared to other companies.

spywaregorilla | karma 6714 | avg karma 2.33 · | 2022-07-20 13:56:01

Which specific companies have they been cherry picked for? Are there any set of numbers that you would like more to generally capture the concept of large tech giants?

owaislone | karma 1232 | avg karma 2.83 · | 2018-11-23 23:23:01+00:00

They are seen as the top five tech giants. That's probably what the author meant.

reducesuffering | karma 4144 | avg karma 1.4 · | 2017-11-24 20:50:00

Big 4, Big 5, or however many big tech co’s you want to include. Google/Amazon/Facebook/Apple/Microsoft

pacifika | karma 941 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2024-05-25 08:31:33

we’re talking about tech companies, see above.

Scoundreller | karma 16473 | avg karma 1.92 · | 2023-05-02 15:41:42

Sadly, most big tech companies have substantial US operations, if not headquarters.

Jenk | karma 3359 | avg karma 4.9 · | 2021-03-15 23:51:31+00:00

So "Tech Giants" are "anyone with >250 employees"..

That's a mighty tight clutch you have on those straws.

> Apple, Microsoft, Google, Mozilla - four of the largest tech companies

One of those is not like the others.
