Also, my comment was engineering only. NYC has a lot of non-engineering teams, while KW is almost entirely engineering. Other offices I assume are similar to NYC, whereas here they do non-engineering things in Toronto.
Still nah; Zurich has 2K+; Taipei has 2K+. Possibly others I don't remember.
The Zurich one reports total headcount, not engineering headcount. BetaKit's coverage of this expansion said second largest engineering outside Bay Area, https://betakit.com/google-to-double-the...ng-office/ .
It does like like the HTC acquisition might have moved it ahead though, BetaKit did say as of 2017, so perhaps second largest software engineering location outside the bay.

No, it could be anyone, but I'd guess anyone not-Google would be much more interested in somewhere like 345 King. It seems like it'd be an odd choice, if you're already building a new building, to do it basically in the middle of Google's campus.
