Google Expands Hiring to Multiple Locations

In a blog post titled "Investing in America", Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, has announced plans for a massive nationwide expansion. The company will "invest over $7 billion in offices and data centers across the U.S. and create at least 10,000 new full-time Google jobs in the U.S. this year. This includes investing in communities that are new to Google and expanding in others across 19 states."

More than $1 billion of that investment will be in California, but there are also plans to add "thousands of roles" in Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and New York, according to the post.

The company plans to push for increased diversity hiring at its new locations - according to the post "2020 was our largest year ever for hiring Black and Latinx Googlers in the U.S., both overall and in tech roles." This is important, as the company has come under fire for how it has handled diversity employees recently and will have to move aggressively to diversify its staff. Geography may play a key role here - Silicon Valley is not exactly a diverse location. Expanding into areas where the company can find deeper talent pools of diverse candidates is a Gordian Knot approach, which is not atypical for Google.

According to Google:

  • The 10,000 new jobs that Google plans to create in the US this year will all be full-time Google roles.
  • Google will continue to hire for a variety of technical and non-technical roles across product, engineering, sales and operations based on the needs of our business in both the short and long-term.

The expansions, broken down by regions, with the South seeing the largest investments:

South

  • South Carolina: Increased investment in existing data center
  • North Carolina: New Cloud engineering site Durham
  • Mississippi: first ever Google Operations Center in Southaven
  • Virginia: new Reston office building; expansion of Loudoun County data center
  • Texas: newly opened data center in Midlothian; first ever Houston office; investments in Austin campuses
  • Atlanta: continued investment in campus, expansion of 105 West Peachtree into majority of tower

  • Massachusetts: continued investments in Cambridge office
  • Pennsylvania: continued investments in Pittsburgh

Central + West
