Google Closes Phoenix Office

Friday, September 19th, 2008
Google posted today on their blog they will be closing their Phoenix office on November 21, 2008 due to unsuccessful and fragmented projects.
Here’s an excerpt from the post:

“We opened our Phoenix office in 2006 and hoped that it would develop to support many of our internal engineering projects, the systems that make Google, well, Google. But we’ve found that despite everyone’s best efforts, the projects our engineers have been working on in Arizona have been, and remain, highly fragmented. So after a lot of soul searching we have decided to incorporate work on these projects into teams elsewhere at Google. We will therefore be closing our Arizona office on November 21, 2008.”
