However, the manager did not disclose Google's specific development plan at the time. Silva revealed that Google now has hundreds of engineers in Seattle.
Media analysis believes that Microsoft employs 35 thousand employees in the Seattle region, and Google will compete with Microsoft in terms of talent.
Matt lowov, an analyst at Microsoft's analysis agency "Directions On Microsoft" for a long time, said Google and Microsoft will continue to compete fiercely in terms of talent wherever they are. However, the analyst also said that Google's R & D branch in Seattle was not necessarily reserved for Microsoft's employees. If Microsoft engineers want to change jobs, the location is not an important condition for them.
Mark Andson, another high-tech analyst in the Seattle area, said: apparently, Google is doing everything possible to attract Microsoft talents. "Google not only wants to recruit talent from northwestern United States, they set up an organization here and apparently want to dig people from Microsoft."
According to Google's recruitment webpage, they currently provide 19 jobs for R & D institutions in Seattle. In addition, Google has not announced its expansion in Seattle.
