It doesn’t matter where a company is headquartered – the majority of their employees could be somewhere else (this is the case with the large public company that I work for – our corporate office is here, with a small number of employees, just because our CEO wants to be here). For example, based on this info, almost half of Callaway’s employees are elsewhere, 75% of Qualcomm, only 10% of SAIC employees are here.
By the way, I’ve been lurking here for over a year, but I’ve decided to chime in a bit more lately. I guess the activity has picked up so much that I felt I had to jump in. Cool to see the growth over the past year.
